We Are Harry and the Potters

Hey there!

We’ve got some really great things on tap in the coming months. A lot of compilation appearances coming up. We’ll have a new song on the forthcoming Jingle Spells 4 comp being produced by the Leaky Cauldron. We’ve also got 3 songs on the finally produced, soon-to-be-mailed, Live at LeakyCon compilation. That will have 3 lives tracks from us, including the definitive version of our song “Bacon” as well as triumphant versions of “Dumbledore” and “the Weapon.” Both of those comps benefit the HP Alliance and will be available soon, so I’ll post again when you can order them.

In the meantime, we’ve also got a brand new song on a compilation called “A New Hope: A Tribute to the Giant Squidstravaganza.” If you don’t know who the Giant Squidstravaganza is, we highly recommend checking him out. His “Death to Humans” album was one of my favorite things the Wizard Rock EP Club ever produced, so we’re happy to be on his new tribute album.

Our song is called “Hermione’s Favorite Food” which, yet again, indulges our love of wizard food, although in this case, it’s actually muggle food, which makes a lot of sense given Hermione’s upbringing. I really like our song, so here it is for you to listen to:

Hermione’s Favorite Food

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Anyway, the entire compilation is really cool and has appearances from a lot of our favorite wizard bands. It’s now available on iTunes, so go and buy it already.
