Charm School

All words and music © 2002−2003 Justin Rice and Christian Rudder. All instruments on this album were played by them, too, with additional drumming by Coll Anderson and additional singing by Bonnie Karin. Additional vocals on "Busted Heart" by Kate Dollenmayer. Charm School was produced and mixed by Justin and Christian, with the generous help and technical guidance of Coll and C.A. Sound. Mastered by Jonathan Wyner at M Works. Photos by Helena Gale.

Contact Blake Zidell for press and similar concerns: blake@sacksco.com. A few lines in the chorus of "Eve of Destruction" are adapted from the P.F. Sloan song of the same name, which was a hit back in '65. We would like to specially thank Max and Chris for the midnight use of their computers, Carla and Sacks & Co. for their support, and Jed and Melissa for putting up with all the noise we've made. Charm School was recorded in apartments in Boston, Lynchburg, Va., and Brooklyn, 2001-2002. Christian and Justin have been playing music together for years. Bonnie and Margaret Miller joined them just as they were finishing this record.
