Or you could read what I have to say: We have a new record coming out in March and its called French Residency (for many minor and subtle reasons pertaining to things that you may or may not wish to know). Here’s the album cover:

French Residency = Kings of the world

Okay so you had a look and now you wanna know more? Well please turn your gaze to the left, where there are some ladies splashing in the river. Now to the right where a man attempts a chin-up by the promenade. Here’s a close-up of it: RATTLE YOUR CAGE

This record will come out in March.  Check back for updates.

We recorded this song Material Xmas with Adam Gallant and recently had it remixed and remastered just for you and yours.

Check it out @ http://www.killbeatmusic.com/boxerthehorse/

You can download it for free and play it at festive gatherings (BONUS: Material Xmas is also extremely appropriate for weddings, birthdays and baby showers). Okay, so what about all you fans out there who don’t celebrate Xmas? Good news – we’ve been working on Material Hanukkah (based on The Chanuka Song by Adam Sandler).  It’ll be an eight-part epic that’s kosher enough for all to enjoy – look for it on participating Walmart shelves in December 2017.

In other news, we’re playing a show at Hunter’s on December 28th with our best friends The Danks and Molly Rankin. Come out and check out our exclusive one-off performance of our all time favourite song Cotton-Eyed Joe.

Until next time,

Special Ops.

Been recording in Alec’s basement in Charlottetown onto an old Fostex that we’ve named Wall-E.  We name most of our friends that buzz and whir Wall-E (including our little GPS, Wall E, who doesn’t buzz nor whir, though always plans for an unnecessary detour through Quebec City on our way to montreal).  About 13 songs in and getting excited about an eventual release in winter!

This guy has been on our minds lately:

also these guys:

(especially Bizarre…)

Talk soon!

Greetings – in a bit of a Springtime hibernation – working on  new tracks, recording, demos, drinking Sapporo, buying new guitars we can’t afford/resist – New Material is shaping up.

Played a great gig at the Alibi in Charlottetown last week with The Invertebrates – great new band that sounded like the Stooges/Nirvana/Black Flag.  Alibi also has the most incredible pizza that makes the best pizza in your town look like the bad pizza in your town.

Next month at Hunter’s in Charlottetown, 18th I think, standby for Details.  In the meantime looking forward to the sun coming out and skrateboarding and the next English Words gig.

Leaving you with some pumpkins love:
