Kind words for "Songs of Guilt
& Revenge"
"Brash,
melodic and eminently tuneful."-Jeff Miers, The Buffalo News
"The raw, British invasion-esque garage rock ‘Songs
of Guilt and Revenge,’ one of the best local releases of the year."-Mac
McGuire, Buffablog
"The album title (and overall energy level)
recalls early Elvis Costello, but the spirits of late-'60s Stones, Gram
Parsons, and the various 'Nuggets' compilations all crash the party,
too."-Ron Ehmke, Buffalo Spree
About the Poster (not actual size)
Generously designed and printed by Rich Kegler at the WNY Book Arts Center They do great things and I support them!
Update #6: Records Have Arrived!
Thanks to all of you, again, for your incredible support! With your help, we successfully pressed and received our new LP, Songs of Guilt & Revenge.
I recently set out an update requesting mailing addresses so I can send out your rewards/small token of appreciation for your generosity. If you haven't replied yet, please do so soon, I'll be shipping out the records next week.
For those of you in Buffalo, perhaps we'll see you tomorrow when we open for ELVIS FREAKING COSTELLO!!!
For those out of the area, please accept my humble thanks and know you are in my heart. I will see you soon.
Also, you can preview a few of the tracks from the record you'll be receiving here

Update #5: Backpeddlers Kickstarter Update Transmission 5
All I can say is THANK YOU!
Well...maybe just a little more.
I'm truly overwhelmed by the support this project has received and want each of you to know how much your contribution means to me. Not just your donation, but your willingness to help on a personal level. Your support means that I finally get to put a recording out on vinyl, a dream I've had since I was a kid.
Dan, Rich, Chris, Daryle, Jason, Paul, Damian, Bob, Jamie, John, Keith, Brett, Rob, Jim, Livirena, Steve, Eric, David, Brandon, B.A., Elmer, Amy, Rick, Al, Matt, Steve, Barb, J-M, Tanya, Joe, Doug, Daryl P, Andy, Doug, Emily, and Donny...thank you all!
I'd like to give special thanks to Rich Kegler for helping me launch the Kickstarter project in the first place.
I'd also like to thank Chris Harper for his encouragement throughout the process.
Thanks Jamie Bono for featuring the project on the To Do List podcast.
Finally, I need to thank Jason Gusmann, Donny Kutzbach, and Brandon Delmont for patiently listening to endless album mixes with me.
Again, I can't tell you what your participation in this project means to me. I will not forget it.
Oh yeah, look for your appreciation gifts soon-you've more than earned them!
-Mark
Update #4: Backpeddlers Kickstarter Update Transmission 4
Where has the time gone? Two months ago, I launched this Kickstarter campaign with the hopes that the reward levels might amuse a few friends and entice some new listeners. Remarkably, this campaign went from something of pipe dream to (almost) a reality. I am genuinely overwhelmed by the support you have offered and truly cannot thank you enough.
We have just 7 days left to go in our campaign!
Snaps to our backers: Dan, Rich, Chris, Daryle, Jason, Paul, Damian, Bob, Jamie, John, Keith, Brett, Rob, Jim, Livirena, Steve, Eric, David, Brandon, B.A., Elmer, Amy, Rick, Al, Matt, Steve, Barb, and J-M. Thank you...all of you!
Again, please feel free to pass the word along to friends who may be interested in keeping new vinyl alive: we're almost there!
