We're trying to raise funds to record our upcoming cd, and hope that some of you are willing to help. It'll be like pre-ordering a CD, and some pledges get you other merchandise as well. If you're interested follow the link below, and an explanation of what your pledge amount gets you is below (some are too funny).
Thanks everyone for even reading this!

In early 2011, the Snallygasters released their debut "Black Aggie" EP on CD. Recorded over a long period by a number of musicians no longer with the band, the boys decided it was time for a proper release on vinyl with the band as it stands today.
Enter the "Charm City" EP. Recorded in late 2011 at Nice Package Recording Studios in Towson, MD, the Snallygasters are soliciting support to make the 7" a reality. There are a number of support levels for everyone's budget. For the more affluent (or certifiably insane), there are a few higher levels of support that will bring a more personal reward for the benefactor. However, the bread-and-butter of any such project is the pre-release order, which we offer as a premium for a $5 level of support...and that's post-paid. Pre-order the record now and save yourself postage.
