Our December release, The Good Old Days, is now available for download. We encourage donations, but even if you don’t have anything to give, you can still enjoy our music.
We know how it goes. Pressing CD’s.
We’re doing a second pressing of our EP, The Good Old Days. We are releasing it on Beard Party. It’s still handmade and limited to 60 copies, so get yours while you can!
2/13/10. Champion Ship Records, Lemoyne, PA. $10 adv. / $12 doors.
Michelle, during her cover of The Emergency Room’s “It’s Gonna Rain All Day.” We’re stoked with the turnout! Thanks everyone.
I guess that this is ex post facto but this is the flier for the show we had on Friday. We were really happy with the turnout; it’s encouraging that we can get a decent turnout with two days notice.
Ship Wrecks is an acoustic, indie-folk duo based in Elizabethtown, PA: Paul plays guitar pretty well and sings; Michelle plunks around on guitar and sings better. The band has been compared to Bright Eyes, Kind of Like Spitting, Brand New (circa 2003), The Swell Season, Kevin Devine, Damien Rice, Elliot Smith, and Cursive.
Paul and Michelle have just returned from a ten-day tour of New England with their good friends Trunks & Tales, where they sold out of their limited-edition, handmade EP, entitled “The Good Old Days”. The EP was a preview of their upcoming split CD with their friend, Reverend Homeless. The CD will be titled, “Songs from Better Days”, and they are recording it now.
The name “Ship Wrecks” requires a bit of explanation. Michelle came up with the name “Shipwreck,” which also happens to be a Boston hardcore band, and Paul decided that it was more clever to make it a complete sentence, subject and verb. Ship wrecks. Get it?
From living rooms to bars to wedding receptions, Ship Wrecks has played a diverse selection of shows and they will make a lasting impression wherever they play next.
