hey! just posted a rough version of a un-released song. It's called "My Last Regret". Hope you're all doing great. All 3 of you that come to this page.

Axel, ok che la sezione MySpace sta andando alla grande e che siamo tutti come fratelli ma scusa io non scrivo proprio un cazzo di niente su uno che si chiama come le patatine. Che poi a me fanno venire pure la diarrea se proprio vogliamo dirla tutta. Poi hai visto che faccia? Sembra uno (o una, tanto è uguale…) dei Magic Numbers…no no…mi dispiace. Poi ascolto qualcosa sul sito MySpace e quella voce, a metà strada tra il timbro di Scott Stapp (Creed) e John Rzeznik (Goo Goo Dolls) (e qualcosa anche del tizio dei Puddle Of Mudd…) mi incuriosisce sempre di più. Al secondo ascolto del disco, la malinconia di certi giri acustici comincia a farmi pensare che in fondo le Pringles non sono poi così male a patto che non finisci un tubo intero in dieci minuti. Emo acustico? Il confine del pop e del blues vengon ovarcati di continuo ma non entrano mai dentro territori particolarmente contaminati da generi "difficili". Tutto molto catchy ma in modo veramente piacevole. Sviolinate romantiche che inevitabilmente vi porteranno a pensare a quel bacio, quel giorno in cui tutto sembrava essere andato al suo posto nel mondo. Le canzoni che a primo impatto sembrano banali e piatte dopo "qualche giro" arrivano fin dentro al cervello e si piazzano nella zona "cantami sotto la doccia te ne prego". Qualcosa si avvicina al debut dei Page France poi però quella voce (che no nsfigurerebbe in altre scene americane più dure, diciamo una di quelle nu-qualcosa o post-qualcos'altro) porta il discorso ancora più in profondità. Intendiamoci gente, questo è veramente pop da quattro accordi, ma quei quattro accordi sono proprio quelli giusti. Peace. joses Says: Dicembre 7th, 2007 at 11:53 altro che pringles… erano belli i tempi in cui cemintificavamo le nostre bocche con le 'Puff'….ora squallidamente nominate '2 a 2--… belli quei tempi di nostra infanzia.. sachiel Says: Dicembre 7th, 2007 at 13:03 A me i puff non sono mai piaciuti molto, sono sempre stato un gran fan dei Fonzie's Mentre adoro le pringles, solo che sono fermamente convinto che siano un ricettacolo di stupefacenti. Perchè creano dipendenza e un tubo lo finisci proprio in 10 minuti, e solo doppo ti accorgi che il tuo stomaco è andato a puttane. Le pringles mi fanno molta paura. joses Says: Dicembre 7th, 2007 at 13:19 un mio amico chimico (è vero, lo giuro!) m'ha detto che tecnicamente le pringles non sono 'cibo'_________sgomento! i fonzies sono assaj fighi, soprattutto per quell'aroma di pineta che lasciano dietro.. imbattibili rimarranno i (o le?) cipster.. sachiel Says: Dicembre 7th, 2007 at 13:32 Beh le pringles sono prodotte dalla procter and Gamble, che fa detersivi, prodotti per la casa e medicine.Per cui… Mr. Soft Says: Dicembre 7th, 2007 at 14:19 che patatine chic. le migliori sono le patatine untuosissime in confezione famiglia allargata che vendono nei discount. tipo le pai. joses Says: Dicembre 7th, 2007 at 16:01 eh eh Soft…è che ho sempre avuto una visione elitaria delle cose.. giov Says: Dicembre 7th, 2007 at 21:53 …bene…lo scopo del pezzo in effetti era vedere se a qualcuno piacevano o meno le pringles e capire se facevano venire la diarrea a qualcun altro. fantastico!

I figure I'll post these good or bad or average...

"John Pringle's first album sounds like a juiced up David Gray record. His vocal performance, although pleasing, sits easily among most adult alternative singers, about as unique as any current top-40 vocalist. His warm, full vocals fit brilliantly, however, with the delicate acoustic sways of this album. Like much of Gray's work, Pringle's songs are all acoustic-based, backed by drums, bass, keys and a few more guitars. "Low Light" and "Blindsided" are packed, heavy tracks. There are no distorted guitars but the instrumentation and thick, stacked background vocals make the songs feel full and round. The band brings to mind the expansiveness of the Dave Matthews Band, and indeed, "So Sincerely" also features light but crucial cello parts so often used in Dave Matthews Band recordings.

These songs are not wildly distinguishable. Because Pringle's fluttering acoustic guitar is the basis for every track, differentiation between songs is blurred slightly by the thick, earthy chord progressions. Most of these songs are radio-friendly, and some of them have the ability to stand on their own as unique pieces of music. "Transmission" features lofty vocal melodies that stretch Pringle's abilities, demonstrating to listeners what his strained vocals are capable of achieving. The lengthy song is marked by catchy and complex transitions that speak to the compelling listenability of Dave Mathews' "Don't Drink the Water." "Love Me" is a delicate folk song with powerfully pensive lyrics and a vocal performance with a Southern draw like that of Ryan Adams. "Busted in Stockholm" shares equally honest lyrics matched with airy, swaying verses and choruses.

Although songs are thematically very similar, this album shows an impressive feel for nuance and suggests promising possibilities for future songcrafting. (Rock Solid Entertainment)

The Players: John Pringle, vocals, guitar.

Material: The genre classification on John Pringle's MySpace site is acoustic indie-folk rock. A fair description, but after listening to his live set there are also Celtic and country undertones worth mentioning. Pringle's themes deal with relationships and lessons learned in life. A wonderfully expressed song ("So Sincerely") is one he wrote for his parents.  Though most songs rank equally, the ones reflecting Pringle's personality and the life lessons he learned are best displayed in "Busted in Stockholm," McQueen" and "Paris Lights."

Musicianship: Pringle plays with a lot of confidence. His finger picking is superb. With minimal effort, he blends low and high notes flawlessly. His vocals exhibit a medium tone and vibrato that are melodic, hypnotic, and engaging.  Coupled with his poignant and offbeat lyrics, it's a wonderful trifecta that's easy to bet on. 

Performance:  Flying into L.A. from Atlanta for this one appearance could not have been an easy choice. Making matters even more difficult is the fickle and, at times, nonexistent audience, especially for acts playing early.  But, as they say: "The show must go on." Sharing the stage with a stool, a Budweiser and his Gibson Maui Wowie acoustic guitar, Pringle played with passion, warmth and an unassuming demeanor.  His casual, easy-going storytelling between songs was so genuine, it drew the audience into his music.  

Summary: Even with limited numbers in attendance, at the start of his set, Pringle displayed a workman's tenacity by performing expressively from the very start.  By the end of the show the audience had grown considerably, both in size and appreciation, ending Pringle's trip west on a high note.

hey everyone.  as you know the album is done and we're looking at a September/October release.  We'll be shooting the photo for the back cover on July 21st at the Yacht Club in Little 5.  As well as listening to some of the 17 tracks we're trying to pick from right now.  We'll be setting up around noon and shooting just random shots as well as some planned out shots for the album.  Come on out and have a pint of guinness and some food(it's awesome here) and hang out with us.  Hope you can make it.  --john

So, we're done tracking and mixing for the most part and will be mastering within a couple weeks.  Then there's no more going back.  For those of you in the ATL area well be having a huge concert/party to celebrate. 

Update!!  Due to the atlantis music festival we've pushed the release back a couple weeks.   Looking like early October.  But I will post again when we have the set date.  sorry

So I got some funding to do a full length album this past month and immediately went into the studio.  It's located in the basement of the famous and supposedly haunted Biltmore Hotel.  So far things have been great.  We're about halfway tracking 18 songs and then the fun really gets started.  Editing.  I'd love to pull a Tom Sawyer and tell you how exciting it is in the studio, but I cannot tell a lie.  I can sometimes be quite tedious when you get to the editing segment.  But  sometimes it can be great.  For instance, my drummer JP played his throne/drum stool on a track last night and it sounded fantastic.  Almost like a super fast heartbeat.  Anyway, the new album is slated for realease in March or April.  My buddy Spencer Sloan is an amazing artist and is currently working on the cover art.  The album is tenatively titled "Midnight Mass on the Williamsburg Bridge".  Hope you're all well and keep an ear out.  

Happy Holidays-john
