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 #11

"Fitehouse goes internationale!"

We at Fitehouse’s Central Cultural Command Post (CCCP) recognize that the only way to do battle with the Evil Recording Industry Empire is by forming our own multinational conglomerate. We may be just a rock-n-roll band, but we are exporting the revolution by going global!

Our first move to win over the world’s hearts and minds was to translate our website into Spanish & German. Next we recruited Fernando Puente León to head up our European Ops in Germany. Linked to our HQ in Baltimore with an Internet bat-phone, Fitehouse Europe makes sure that the sun seldom sets on our propaganda machinery!

Recently we took a page from the Back Street Boys, who had to hit it big in Japan before coming to the States. We’ve initiated our own island launch by promoting heavily in Iceland. If Josh can get his Icelandic beyond kindergarten level, we plan to be the first U.S. band to record a song in the ancient Viking tongue. And now, proving that NAFTA has brought advantages to the world of rock-n-roll, we’ve flown in drummer-extraordinaire Eduardo Ceceña from Mexico City to help us complete our top-secret anti-industry weapon -- the BombTM!

Fitehouse...a rock band of global proportions!

Proliferating perspicacious postal
proclamations for the planet’s people!
