Quotes:
“I’m trying to place it. I mean I hate comparisons in general but it’s like, joy division meets the Americana of Wilco. Which is… surprisingly a great combination. There’s a base of influences that is like, just right, but there’s a reverby atmosphere that brings something different” Michael T
"I also hear some feelies, especially on the first track, also definitely REM, some GBV, a little Bob Mould. These songs are all right up my alley. Second track “No Heroes” has an awesome slow burn, dark Lou Reed kinda vibe with a great anthemic chorus, I dig that dynamic. The last 3 are all bangers and jangly college radio smash hits. There are hints of them but it all blends together for a very unique sound. Congrats on a great EP man!!" Frank R
