Sci-Fi Romance Holiday Songs on iTunes

Just a heads-up as we plow merrily into the holiday season (it’s raining in Los Angeles, so it must be December…), our various holiday songs we’ve done over the lat couple of years are all available on iTunes, or from our Bandcamp store. Cheers! [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Oe8Z1cR22A] iTunes [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8Z-pYMDB0g] iTunes [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCl1N8Ljes4] iTunes

Why Folk Pop Made Me Sad

I think the strange folk pop revival we recently experienced, with its attendant explosion of bowler hats and banjos, is finally a cloud of dust on the far horizon. Mumford and Sons has gone away, the Lumineers still just have the one record (which they apparently have re-released a couple times), Edward Sharpe and the […]

October EP Now Available

Download the EP for free right here. After a drought between albums, it’s incredibly gratifying to be able to put out a new EP today and release it as a free download. Two weeks ago, I didn’t even have the idea for this project, and I love that it now exists and is out there […]

New EP Coming

I’ve had the next full-length Sci-Fi Romance album written for over a year, but as it happens, newborn twins slow down recording schedules. The itch to record and get new music out has been terribly strong. And here we are in October. The best month. Every year at this time, my wife and I watch […]

Bohemian Shindig: August 22nd

Friends, we’re back. I’ve played a number of solo shows over the last few months as we’ve been getting closer to booking studio time for the new record, but we haven’t played out as a band since last year, due to the arrival of three (count ’em three!) Sci-Fi Romance babies, and the attendant life-turning-upside-downness […]

“Margaret” by Jason Webley

There aren’t a ton of artistsĀ I’d do this for, but I wanted to take a minute to direct you to Jason Webley’s Kickstarter project for a collaborative project called Margaret. He’s already blown past his funding goal, so this is really just a recommendation that you pitch in now in order to pre-order the album. […]

Will they sing my name After they lay me in the sand? There won’t be no victory For this heart that beats and hands that bleed What more can they take Than […]
