FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY released another new single called "Thank you, Bud
Dwyer" in anticipation of their upcoming new LP "Hellbound"
due out September 10th, 2013.
The band is releasing this statement to expand on
why they named the song after the late politician.
This song is our
homage to Budd Dwyer, a PA politician who committed suicide on national
television back in 1987, one day before he was to be wrongfully sentenced for
accepting a bribe.
In 2010 William
Smith, another accused and convicted party revealed that he had given false
testimony to incriminate Dwyer, who had spent his years in office combatting
corruption on a state and federal level, and had professed his innocence
throughout the trial.
Here's a section
of Budd Dwyer's last words in a letter he had passed out the day of his
suicide:
'To those of you
with depth and concern the real story will be what I hope and pray results from
this morning--in the coming months and years, the development of a true Justice
System here in the United States. I am going to die in office in an effort to
...see if the shame[-ful] facts, spread out in all their shame, will not burn
through our civic shamelessness and set fire to American pride.
Please tell my
story on every radio and television station and in every newspaper and magazine
in the U.S. Please leave immediately if you have a weak stomach or mind since I
don't want to cause physical or mental distress. Joanne, Rob, DeeDee - I love
you! Thank you for making my life so happy. Good bye to you all on the count of
3. Please make sure that the sacrifice of my life is not in
vain.'
We felt an
obligation to share this story as it's a powerful example of how truly skewed
our political and justice system can become. If anyone's interested in learning
more about Budd Dwyer and his life check out the movie Honest
Man."
With Will
Putney producing his own band this time around, this is some of the band's
most forward thinking material to date. Artist Brian
Mercer was also tapped to develop the stunning "Hellbound"
cover art. With the release exactly one week away, the accolades continue to
pile up.
"Hellbound is one of the angriest, most pissed-off
releases of 2013." MeGusta
