Description
Lullabies with teeth. Flightless birds. Other such paradoxes to stretch the heart
Notes
The doctors and nurses run screaming from the delivery room--”IT’S A MONSTER!!! AAARGH!”
Moah-ah-ah! The team of mad scientists that call themselves ‘Cardboard Nationals’ have done it again! This time it’s a sprawling, multi-faceted creature, filled with saw-tooth sword fights next door to moments of the most delicate frailty. It’s trying to break your heart. It wants to give you a black eye. It’s got claws that’ll leave a mark if you let it. You’re sure to like some of it, but only some will like all of it. They call their frankensteinish baby ‘its wonderful light in pictures’, and LOOK OUT!— it’s trashing the hospital room right now!! It’s eating bed pans and heart-monitors, get-well cards and health charts. It’s expanding by the second! It’s spilling into the hallway, the rooftop, the streets below! something’s gone horribly wrong— SAVE YORSELVES!!!
CARDBOARD NATIONALS FAST FACTS
-Formed in 2009 in Guelph, ON
-The members and instruments are Paul Farmer (guitar and voice), Kelly Steadman (guitar and voice), Chris Hierlihy (bass and voice) and Steve Hamilton (drums).
-Discography is ’Sad Hips And Hymnbooks’ EP (2008) and 'Its Wonderful Light In Pictures’ (2012)
And the name ‘The Cardboard Nationals’ came about like this: If you go to Buenos Aires, every night you’ll see this army of homeless people scouring through garbage cans on the street, collecting materials to take to recycling plants on the outskirts of the city for a few pesos. They are called 'carteneros'--people of the cardboard. When the city sleeps, this shadowy wave of toil and survival washes silently through the streets.
