Anticomp Folkilation Two-CD Set!
Comprised of the handsomest men in NYC and solo superstars in their own right, ENNB, are the anti-CSNY of the year. Catch their debut and at the same time their greatest hits all in this CD! Parental Discretion Advised.
ENNB are back with another collection of their wry and sardonic takes on life.
From the beautiful Peter Nevin's artwork to the wonderful Dan Costello production this is the result of UK's Godwin's time spent on NYC's Lower East Side. 2007 is off to an amazing start with the release of this album, a must have for those interested in where the scene is today
Godwin is a recent addition to the NY Antifolk scene. He recorded two EPs in England, and this is a compilation of that overseas work. Look for Ben on Sundays behind the sound board at Sidewalk, and as producer on Dan Costello's upcoming release.
Pete Cassani's second Peasant's album has a great Replacements cover (Goddamn Job") and has the critics raving:
The debut CD from one of the hottest new acts on the Antifolk scene. Eric's band reads like a Who's Who of current East Village Antifolk: Dan Costello, Ben Godwin, Vin, Creaky Boards. A MUST HAVE for the upcoming Anti-Summer!
"The Wowz are kind of like a coked-up youth group sing-along; the duo plays hyperchirpy, manic songs with ecstatic titles like "Nothin' Would Be Better" and "Happy Today." Watch out, though--their cheery outlook (ironic or not) is contagious."-TimeoutNY

Ching Chong Song Little Naked Gay Adventure
"Ching Chong Song is an unconventional duo comprising Julie LaMendola, who sings and plays the saw, and Dan Gower, who sings, plays piano and, if you catch him on the right night, wears a piano tie. Though a humble duo in rank and sound, Ching Chong Song, which has been playing around town for about a year, boasts more attitude than bands thrice its size. Like some nervy old carnival performer, LaMendola strikes a balance between diva in the making and sideshow weirdo, commanding her tiny stage with a chutzpah befitting Radio City. It’s an entertaining act that has few peers in New York clubs"- Timeout New York

Carl Creighton Minnesota
"It's no secret throughout the Antifolk scene that Creighton is one of the strongest sweethearts to play the Sidewalk in a long time...The voice is undeniable." - Ben Krieger, Jezebelmusic.com.
"Songs like "Minnesota" and "Erin" are tender songs dealing with true life emotions. The harmonica and the way Creighton softly sings in the former are terrific, as are the smart choice in strings. The closer, "Baby's Breath" is a sad, somber song but the piano-driven ballad is affecting and moving." - Bryan Sanchez, Delusions of Adequacy
"One of the nicest things about Carl's compositional style is his wise use of rhythm. On different songs, he arranges the words in such a way that you don't get what your ear is expecting. This is never done in a jarring way; rather, Carl is able to add emphasis to his lyrics through his vocal phrasing in a way that many more established musicians should find themselves envious of." - Matt Winters, WKCR's The Moonshine Show

Review of "Flutter" by Emmy A. Wards, Drowned in Sound.com:"
I am continuously unimpressed by UK Anti-folk. However, when a CD arrives with the endorsements of its flashy American parent, Anti-folk New York, my ears are wont to prick up, and I develop the kind of nervous excitement that comes with unwrapping a car-shaped present at Christmas. As for the EP, if you're a fan of Jonathan Richman, Adam Green, or Cat Power, it's probably worth tracking down a copy, if only for the brilliant, brilliant 'Cat in the Hat'."

So, one day a book arrives to the Fortified office with a note. The note explains that the Antifolk scene was a big inspiration to the writer and so he wanted us to have a copy of his book. It sat on our desk for months but eventually we cracked it open and then couldn't put it down. It's a tale of our times and it's one of the first Antifolk novels for sure involving a twenties-something potdealer in Florida who poses as a bible-selling Mormon and that's just the start of it.. Get yrself one of these early copies so you can say you were there from the start.

people to stop partying and start listening.On the CD, we get Bryan singing with such force that we can see his cords
fraying—like a drunken punch in a bar fight, crudely thrown but with true heartfelt conviction. Bryan’s thoughts,
however, are quite lucid. If you’re a lyrics nut, you’ll love this stuff."-The Noise
