February 6, 2023 (Newsletter/New Song & Merch)

The site has been updated so you can sign up to receive a newsletter with updates on blogs, merch, and music. You can sign up just by visiting the site and providing your email on the prompt at the bottom of the homepage.

I'm also excited to announce that we have a full merch line coming next month for pre-orders. I will attach the designs to this post as a preview. There will be an option for t-shirts, as well as one zip-up hoodie with a front and back design. Once we receive the proof designs for preorders from our distribution partners, we will update you all so you can see how the colors and designs will look. As was the case with previous merchandise, all profits will benefit Easterseals and you can learn more about the organization here: Charity | McCafferty (mccaffertyband.com)

Lastly, I am officially heading into the studio in March to record a modernized version of "Is Your Shirt Inside Out ''. I worked with my friend Liam, who is my electric guitarist, and we came up with some awesome riffs that I think will make the song epic. It has always been one of my favorite songs I've ever written and I can't wait to revisit the synth lines and chants. Also, thank you to everyone who has sent in a movie recommendation for the podcast. If you have something we should watch send us a message! I still haven't gotten around to answering messages but hope to this weekend. Thank you all for listening.

January 30, 2023 (The Movies We Watch Podcast)

Hey, what's up everybody! Here is our first episode of our new podcast "The Movies We Watch With Nick and Emily". We are hoping to build a community around it and if you have recommendations for us to watch for our February episode, please send a message through my contact form or nickhartkop@mccaffertyband.com. This is a podcast we wanted to make for ourselves where we talk about the movies we watch each month and think it would be fun to get more people involved. The podcast is available here on our site and Spotify. It's our first episode so it's a little rough, but we are hoping to improve over time. On a side note, I should be heading into the studio to record a remastered version of "Is Your Shirt Inside out" next month! If you enjoy the podcast, let us know!

January 26, 2023 (Album Update/New Podcast Episode)

I've been struggling with writing lately and haven't had the urge to make any new McCafferty songs because I have been in a deep depression, but am excited to announce that for my next release I am going to be re-recording and modernizing some of my old material. I love my older songs so much and have been playing them and am super proud of them. I don't know what I'll name the record and haven't picked out every song, but know for sure "Is your shirt inside out", "Alright (Alright)" and "Skeleton bones" will be some of the songs I work with. There's magic in those old recordings and I think some of my best work and now that I have been in treatment, working to become a better person and am living a healthy safe life I want to explore them again in my sobriety. My wife and I will also be uploading a podcast once a month called "The Movies We Watch" where I'm going to go through my letterbox Diary and talk about, well, the movies we watched that month. Film is our obsession and something we love to talk about and it will be available on the site and I will post a link when it's up. I haven't answered any emails for about a month so if you've messaged and haven't heard back I apologize and I'll be getting to them soon. I'm really excited and passionate about these songs and will have more to update soon. Hope everyone is well

Nick
