FRYFOGLE is a Canadian Indie/Garage/Alternative/Rock band from London, Ontario, Canada set to launch a fledgling album entitled "The Conditions of Existence".
The sound that FRYFOGLE produces has been described as “Queens Of The Stone Age Meets Beck around a campfire with Eels.”
For all intent, FRYFOGLE is Shawn James Fryfogle having wrote, sung, arranged, engineered, played, programmed, and produced the 10 tracks that contrive
"The Conditions of Existence."
Shawn is no stranger to the Canadian music scene having played in bands, been a sound engineer, promoted and participated in various projects for a number of years. After a self-imposed sabbatical away from music, Shawn dove into the world of digital audio production in latE 2013. With only an old Mac PowerBook, a 4 channel Radio Shack Mixer, a beat up Midi keyboard and a couple of his beloved Shure SM58 microphones he soon had the beginnings of over 30 songs, 10 of which will be featured on this first album.
FRYFOGLE has already been receiving internet- radio airplay on various stations as he tests out the reaction to some of the songs from the up & coming album “The Conditions Of Existence.”
One of the songs “Eleven Long Years” was featured on “Creatures Of The Night” a 4-song sampler from Factory Fast Records out of New York. “The fourth track by Fryfogle has a great opening tone and riff. The vocals sound almost disembodied. Great groove, Slightly laid back feel but solid rhythm maintains the energy and drive. Eleven Long Yeas has a garage-rock type of sound that is not overproduced.” – A review of “Creatures Of The Night” by Andrulians Blog on WordPress
Aptly titled "The Conditions of Existence", FRYFOGLE'S songs talk of the conditions in which we live. From the love of a beautiful woman to the expectations of organized religion to the throes of addiction, FRYFOGLE is unafraid to write and sing about it all. His songs are random, diverse and steaming over with emotion.
Expect the unexpected on FRYFOGLE'S "The Conditions of Existence" coming your way...SOON!!!

FRYFOGLE - On Sad Wings You Fly Track number: 4 Year: 2015 Album: The Conditions Of Existence Genre: Alternative
Copyright 2015 by Fryfogle Music. **This song was written when I had a very sick and drug addicted friend staying with me as I tried to get him into the hospital before he died. The lyrics came all at once as a poem and I put it to music shortly after. I got him to the hospital, he lived, barely but continues to fight his demons to this day. You can only help those who want to be helped, save those who want to be saved....I will never stop trying!!

The song is self-explanatory!! All about the "Wake & Bake"....nothing like a strong coffee and a good joint of Cannabis to kick start your day. Come on Justin (Trudeau) let's get it legalized!!!
