While he's no stranger to social issues, Songs for Parents. . . may be his most scathing indictment of the powers that be--and funny enough to incite a laugh riot. ""I've never been as topical or angry as I am now, and that is a direct result of the kid. He's going to grow up in a country that's in need of a serious mend, and as always, I cling to humor to get me through it.""

Hamell on Trial provides witty insight to the question, ""How do I raise a child in today's world?"" And like every good children's story, Songs for Parents Who Enjoy Drugs has a strong moral: the guitar is mightier than the sword.

""genius is a rare commodity--but here it is in the one-man folk-punk band called hamell on trial."" -- The New York Post
