About this album
False Heroics’ debut album “The Salvation Navy” is an unromantic panorama where the poor of the world are displaced, teenaged capitalists whine over unrequited love, and the Lord God dialogues with shopaholics. One of the album tracks, “Shonar Bangla”, is an excerpt from the anthem of Bangladeshi freedom fighters—penned by the Nobel prize-winning poet Rabindranath Tagore. This, along with sweatshop rocker “To Dhaka With Love”, likely has come out of singer Adam King’s years in Bangladesh as the son of Baptist missionaries.
“A lot of the imagery and references in the album came directly or indirectly from my experiences in Bangladesh,” comments King. “I’ve been trying to deal with the tension of consumerism vs. poverty, eternal salvation vs. momentary pleasure, cultural imperialism vs. social justice missions and the search for truth. Somehow that translated into my singing about colonial seaships, missionaries and corporate outsourcing (oh my!).”
The album was written and recorded throughout 23-year-old guitarist Michael Nicholson’s bouts with germ cell cancer, the recording sandwiched between post-secondary degrees, weddings and King’s Green Party and municipal campaigns in Brantford. The album was released in 2007 as a limited edition CD (100 copies) and online via iTunes, eMusic, Amazon Music, Amie St. and other outlets.
