The Running Scared EP

 The Bomb EP

If Thomas Jefferson were alive today
He'd view record companies with dismay.

If Thomas Paine were here he'd say
Expose the evil of the RIAA.

And if Samuel Adams were to join the fray...
He'd dump the CDs in the Bay.

Say it loud and let 'em know...
The Big Five labels have got to go!

The Bomb: Postcard #3

"Fitehouse testifies to Baltimore City Council"

When the City Council’s Subcommittee on Economic Development called a meeting on how to counteract Baltimore’s negative media image, Fitehouse was there! Stepping up to the podium for a 15 minute presentation, Josh, Fitehouse’s Minister of Propaganda, suggested that the Council could learn a lot from the band’s Baltimore Rock Anthem campaign as an example of how to generate good press without spending much money.

The Committee enthusiastically embraced Fitehouse’s positive presentation (perhaps because almost everyone else testifying cursed out the council members for wasting tax-payer dollars for even holding the meeting). Fitehouse was immediately invited to join a newly formed “Better Image for Baltimore Committee” (Though they haven’t held a meeting yet!) Completing the cultural coup d'état, Fitehouse was also approached by the City’s official cable channel about the possibility of producing some original programming for the station. You bet your booties we’re taking them up on the offer!

Fitehouse... by hook or by crook determined to become part of the Baltimore City Bureaucracy!  

Postal pontificating is always
preferable to poetic prevarication.
