Re: The Cartridge Family Band(Phoenix, 2001) Yes, I'm in a band. Again. But this one is different.
I've always been musical, I've been in a bunch of different bands. But this is the first time I've been in a band that was determined to make a difference.
We're using music the way they did in the 1960s, to bring a message of peace and freedom to America, in a way my writing never can. With tunes like "The Little Armed Lady From Pasadena" and "Bad Tax Rising" our goal is to change hearts and minds in support of individual freedom and personal responsibility.
We're an acoustic trio, and we're in the studio now cutting our first CD, "Brass Balls," which we expect out in the Spring. Audience response at our gigs has been great, and our repertoire is growing as we pick on all the BS in society -- no one is safe from our sarcastic muzzle. This act is going somewhere.
Stay tuned.
Sincerely,
Alan ".22 Caliber Short" Cartridge

Gun Laws of America
NEWER TIMES
The Cartridge Family BandA basically revolting Neolithic throwback, the Cartridge Family has zero chance in this year's showcase, by their own fetid design. The admittedly retrograde porkbarrel parody that is the group's mainstay is hard on the minds of modern audiophiles.
Politically discorrected, this acoustic trio strikes fear into both politicians and pacifists, with arcane inane spinoffs like The Little Armed Lady from Pasadena, and 911 (You Keep Me Hanging On). Oh, their harmonies may be sweet, but it's the sanguine siren-song solipsism that crashed Homer (not Simpson) on the shoals.
A vote for this act is a vote for anarchist free expression like we haven't tolerated in America for years. Save your ears and brains for good acts like Alcoholocaust, the Testoster-Tones, or Elvis Hitler and the Violent Mood Swings. -Berry
RATED "F" FOR FREEDOM
by Glenn MillerI heard a cool new concept band the other day -- they do all these great tunes about gun rights and political corruption. They seem to know what's wrong with America and the radical leftists who are trying to bring America down. Their insight is particularly powerful because it's in song.
Can't remember when I laughed so hard -- they tore a new one for the ACLU, and Miguel Row Your Coke Ashore hit the nail on the nose. Plus, they've got a bright upbeat sound that's actually musical, like music used to be. I couldn't help but hum some of the songs in my head days later.
They're bound to get in some trouble though, because they're not afraid to call a spade a spade. You wish you got this kind of candor in the news, but you never do. I can see why they call this debut album "Brass Balls."
One of the Cartridge Family, Alan Korwin, is apparently pretty well known. He's written six books on gun laws and is a guest on talk radio a lot. The one who looks like Beatle-mania, Eric Cartridge, is a producer in the advertising business, and the other guy, Craig something, is just a CPA with an MBA. WFC, right?
It's a punchy combination, but they can really punch out a tune, and they punch out the lights of bigots and political tyrants who are trying to take away guns and destroy what has always made America strong. Don't you just want to punch those people sometimes?
I thought this was the best few bucks I've put into the gun debate in a long time. Now I'm pumped! The copy I heard did not include the deranged hit, Towelheads Will Roll, by the Cartridge Family's evil twin, Camel and the Jockies, that I had heard so much about. Oh, and I don't believe all the stuff about Nostradamus predicting The Cartridge Family.
