Bio
Cameron Wensels self assured vocals and lyrical honesty are present with his latest musical project, Black Drink Crier.
The biting candor Wensel's lyrics have been complimented by the musical talents of Reginas The Lazy MKs, who put their trademark sound to work aside Wensels vocal and guitar work on his debut release as Black Drink Crier, Porch Fire (now available on Harvest King Records).
Recorded at Soul Sound by Orion Paradis, Porch Fire is a collection of six songs brimming with the nostalgia, tenderness and vitriol of an ended love. Citing musical and songwriting influences such as the Pogues, Steve Earle, Daniel Lanois and Bob Dylan, Black Drink Criers debut release fits as well as a pair of worn suspenders.
Porch Fire is both a sincere homage to the Western prairies and a telling tribute to transformative power of being burnt. Wensels lyrical prowess is front and centre, and his songwriting skills are evident on this, his first solo recording (following Westport Murders 2009 EP).

Expect another release from Black Drink Crier in the near future, where the true band lineup featuring Judd Stachowski and Travis Reshaur will appear.
