GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD

Last week Spraynard broke up, but it was okay because Algernon Cadwallader released a mixtape to make us feel better. BUT IT WAS ALL A LIE! Today from Algernon’s blog:

“Algernon Cadwallader has officially been laid to rest. We were 7 years old. That’s 49 in dog years… I’ve (Tank) had an amazing past 5 years touring and writing music with my best friends Peter and Joe. So here’s the news: I’m having a kid and got a nursing job! I’m stoked about a little Tank running around with drum sticks. Unfortunately I’m unable to tour anymore.”

At least this is a happier farewell than Spraynard’s. CONGRATULATIONS TANK! … but … </3 this is all so sudden :(

Today’s News

I just woke up to a lot of “alt” news and I thought I’d update y’all. First of all Square of Opposition Records’ online store is set to be back up and running this morning after a long absence. They carry music from bands like Snowing, Nona, Peeple Watching, and Spraynard. If you don’t have Snowing’s I Could Do Whatever I Wanted If I Wanted now’s your chance! It’s so great! Especially the song It’s Just a Party as evidenced by the line: I spent my last 6 bucks on Whiskey and I sent a thousand texts that regret.

In related news, Spraynard announced on their tumblr last night that they broke up. RIP knowing the Troubling Kids were/are big fans <3

“Dear homies, spanning the globe.  As much as this hurts to say, it can’t wait any longer.Spraynard is no longer a band.  We started this band because all three of us were best friends.  Lately, that has not been the case. All three of us are moving in much different directions, and being in a full-time(ish) touring band just isn’t making sense anymore.  We apologize for the abruptness of this, but for now we won’t be playing a last show…”

To end this update on a happier note, (this is actually old news but I just found out about it) Algernon Cadwallader & Joyce Manor are on tour together and released a POP mixtape to promote the tour! Check it! They’re just like you and me! Except that we obviously hate Dr. Dog.
