On a completely non-musical note, Brainclaw are featured in a brand-new tabletop photo book by Philadelphia’s Kyle Cassidy. The book is called Armed America, and is a completely non-partisan look at firearms owners across America.

Kyle traveled the entire length and breadth of the USA to gather stunning photos of American gun owners in their homes. It is a surprising and revealing look and an oft-wrongly maligned culture, full of safe and sane legal gun owners. Each person photographed has a quote in the book, describing why they have chosen to own firearms.

We appear in the book, as well as David’s father, Joseph, who even appears on the back of the dust cover! Kyle has done an excellent job with this project, and the publisher has really done it justice with a flawless presentation. They describe the book in this manner:

“Few things generate as much debate as firearms, and behind this often hotly debated topic are real people. Estimates say roughly half of all Americans are gun owners… but why do so many Americans own a firearm?

Photographer Kyle Cassidy took on the challenge of answering this question without a political agenda. Readers will meet some of the faces behind firearm ownership, and discover honest answers to a single question: “Why do you own a gun?”

Armed America offers a powerful, provocative, and sometimes startling view of gun ownership in the U.S. with portraits of people from different backgrounds, and living in various locations, with the one common connection of firearm ownership. This riveting and revealing collection of photos of people in their own environments will capture every reader’s attention, whatever their stance on gun control.”

The book is now available for pre-order on amazon.com and will also be available in all major bookstores as well, starting July 7. Congratulations to Kyle on his latest published work!
