FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Boston, MA--February 6, 2006--This is the story of an obscure,
eccentric, indie folk singer from Boston. Michael Hirsch
questions reality and the depths of the music industry. "Where
is all the creativity, the raw emotion and where did all the
real music go?" Hirsch definitely addresses these questions in
his new release Puppies of the Victorian Era.
Michael Hirsch is quickly establishing himself as a premier solo
artist. Obviously, his music and live performances are truly
appreciated across the pond as crowds welcome him with open arms
during frequent tours of Europe. Additionally, Michael sells the
majority of his CDs overseas; he is moving five times as many
units in Europe as he is in the US. Hirsch will tour this spring
and summer and will travel throughout the Northeast and Canada
in support of Puppies of the Victorian Era.
Hirsch is a singer songwriter by trade but often contemplates
playing the role of a front man. His definition of his genre is
different than most. He explains, "I mean I'm on stage as an
individual, I am by myself. I still haven't lost my punk rock
roots. My live shows involve jumping, screaming, and cursing. If
I'm not sweating by the first chorus of the first song than I am
doing something wrong. I want to take the folk singer and break
the stereotype of a guy sitting on a stool singing sensitive
songs about his feelings as the audience sips coffee."
Although Hirsch plays to his own tune, he credits a few
influences along the way. He looks to the Cure for their raw
emotion and hopelessness mixed with their occasional happiness.
Additionally, Hirsch admits that REM, to this day continues to
assist his writing and singing abilities. Finally, he credits
Tori Amos, Barenaked Ladies, and Wilco for the separate stamp
each has placed on his young and talented career.
Puppies of the Victorian Era, produced by Frank Hopkins
and mastered by Nick Moon, is complex, intelligent, and it
exhibits genuine artistic growth. The first single, "Queen
Vanessa" shows evidence of something special. Hirsch creates a
larger sound than ever before and the superior production pays
huge dividends for his vocal range. Hirsch takes the listener on
an intense journey and has the ability to tell stories that we
all identify with.

Puppies of the Victorian Era on sale this month.
