biographical info

Remember the last time someone broke your heart? Remember how you called her, ranting and mumbling into the phone between sobs, until she finally just hung up?

Imagine if someone got those sounds, mixed them up proper, and produced a CD?

Cancel Winter’s liestilnow distills that heartbreak into electric guitar, loud drums and electronic blips punctuated by vocals that tell us love is bad – stay far, far away. NOW Mag. says, “These guys have managed to combine emo, new wave, indie and radio-friendly rock all one slickly produced record. The songs are infectious enough to be played on rock stations across the country”.

The band manages to merge the catchiness of radio pop without losing the raw emotion of the songs. This is a CD inspired by heartache but one that follows that up with a swift kick to the temple.

Cancel Winter is: Nate Kreiswirth on vocals and guitar, Adam King on drums, Martyn Skrzypczyk on guitar and vocals, Chris Stevens on synth and bass, and Eric Schwindt on keyboard(s).

Free downlod of "The silence" remix by Joel from Dragonette, and NYC showcase

posted by Cancel Winter   

Hey everyone,

thought I'd let you in on a little secret.

Cancel Winter is your mom's new favorite band.  I read it somewhere, I think.

So in recognition of moms everywhere (wait this is one week too late....got to get a new calander) we want to give you all a free download...okay so one doesn't relate to the other in anyway, but I'm all out of clever segues so this will have to do.

A little while back we had our good friend Joel Stoufer (of the fantastic band Dragonette) put together an electro remix of our tune "the silence"  .....and Adam and myself through a little extra cancel winter sauce on her once Joel was done......it's a sexy bumpin track, not to be missed

As promised I'm finally getting that lovely track to you fine folks of the mailing list.

All you have to do is go to http://www.reverbnation.com/cancelwinter and click on the little download arrow next to the track "The Silence (WHAT! remix)"

and wam bam...you got yourself a totally legally downloaded tune.....guilt free....aaah

so in other news....

we had a great show the other night with pal's Arietta who just launched their new CD....make sure to grab it, it's great.

and now we are heading south of the border to put some stank on some yanks (I don't know what that means, but it rhymes and sounds dirty, so I'm gonna leave it at that)

We're playing a showcase in NYC at Arlene's Grocery on Friday May 21st at the crack of 9pm (there are bands every hour starting at 7pm) and our close friends Measure (an amazing nyc electro duo) are playing right after us at 10pm.

It would be a huge help to us if you could tell anyone you know in NYC about the show.....it's always tough promoting shows from another country, so we'd love your help spreading the word.

Hope everyone is enjoying the sun, time to get back to work.

Talk soon
