█░█ Ezra Furman is a singer and songwriter from █░█
█░█ Chicago, IL. He crafts songs with the desperate █░█
█░█ urgency of a runaway and yet the discerning hand █░█
█░█ of a master sculptor. Since he picked up an █░█
█░█ acoustic guitar at age thirteen, he has been █░█
█░█ working tirelessly toward capturing the beauty, █░█
█░█ despair and headlong wildness of life, that █░█
█░█ too-often overlooked magic and poetry that makes █░█
█░█ us human. His songs are a shot in the dark that █░█
█░█ just may strike you at your core. █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ In 2006, The Harpoons were formed with the goal █░█
█░█ of complimenting Ezra's madman songwriting, █░█
█░█ turning personal musical sketches into glorious, █░█
█░█ rollicking pop songs, and entering into that █░█
█░█ crazy and beautiful tradition that is rock and █░█
█░█ roll. Since their stage debut at Tufts University █░█
█░█ in February 2006, Ezra Furman and the Harpoons █░█
█░█ have played in rock clubs in 18 cities in 11 █░█
█░█ different states and are now thoroughly homeless █░█
█░█ in Boston, bursting into the local scene with █░█
█░█ gusto and charm. In June 2006, they self-released █░█
█░█ their first album, 'Beat Beat Beat', which was █░█
█░█ recorded in a series of college dorm rooms at █░█
█░█ Tufts, produced by Harpoons guitarist, Jahn Sood, █░█
█░█ and engineered by Sood and Dave Kant from Outtake █░█
█░█ Records. The original version of "Beat Beat Beat" █░█
█░█ is available at Harpoons shows and by contacting █░█
█░█ the band directly. █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ Since then, the Harpoons signed to Minty Fresh █░█
█░█ Records, the eminent Chicago indie label, and █░█
█░█ headed straight to the studio. In January, the █░█
█░█ Harpoons layed down the tracks for thier national █░█
█░█ debut, with producer Brian Deck (Iron and Wine, █░█
█░█ Modest Mouse, Josh Ritter). Now the album, █░█
█░█ "Banging Down the Doors" is finished and ready █░█
█░█ for national release August 28th of this year, █░█
█░█ and is already being sold at live shows. This █░█
█░█ momentum and general madness promises great █░█
█░█ things to come for the band in the next year. █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ In addition to their role the band all of the █░█
█░█ Harpoons are students at Tufts University. █░█
█░█ Guitarist Jahn Sood is also a singer-songwriter █░█
█░█ in his own right, performing in Boston and his █░█
█░█ home town, Portland, ME. Bassist Job Mukkada is a █░█
█░█ singer-songwriter as well, but performs under the █░█
█░█ alias, Wilder Penfield. When not keeping time for █░█
█░█ the Harpoons, drummer Jordan Kozer remains █░█
█░█ shrouded in mystery and various luxury shrouds. █░█
█░█ Pilgrims come to see him in his Chicago █░█
█░█ headquarters carrying sick livestock and children █░█
█░█ for him to heal, which he refuses to do unless █░█
█░█ compensated in candy. █░█
