Hi there, Joey Cape here.

“I’m Not Gonna Save You” is the latest song for my album “Doesn’t Play Well With Others”. Some of you may know the song already because it was previously released on a split with Jon Snodgrass (Drag The River). It was my side of a 7″ called “Who Wants To Get Down” (Vinyl Collective/Suburban Home).

“I’m Not Gonna Save You” was recorded early in the process but I consider the song to be an integral part of the “D.P.W.W.O” and this period in my life. It is essential lyrically and musically to the album and hey…it was only a 7″. Ha ha.

Jon Snodgrass added a few harmonies since he regularly sang them live when we touring together. It’s a better mix as well. Hope you like it.

Hi there, Joey here
Well, it’s that time again, time for the next  release from D.P.W.W.O. We are down to the final 4 songs now. It’s bitter sweet because, although I know I have nearly accomplished what I set out to do this year, it will be weird and a little sad when it’s over.

Did releasing the album this way make it a better record? I don’t know. I just want to make sure the last few songs are the perfect finish or at least my best? The pressure is mounting. It’s all good. It has been challenging and a lot of fun. I can’t wait to actually hold the full length in my hand, complete with Violet’s art. It is going to be a great feeling. I am just 2 vocals away from completing the music.

The new song is entitled “The Fish Rots From The Head-Case Down”. The lyrics are Pirate themed and speak of the fall of a group, how it is often directly related to its captain’s faltering. Sometimes the group is unwilling to follow the suitable leader, other times the leader’s personal life falls apart and the dysfunction trickles down. “The Fish Rots…” is about the ladder, though I have experienced both scenarios and going it alone is more and more appealing as I grow older and tired of drama.
