"...This indie rock band actually surprised me...I get alot of demos & indie releases that are, well, crap, but this disc is actually REALLY, REALLY good! The harmony & melody is immediatley catchy & I actually liked this disc from the very first song..." |

"...Chris, Josh, Nathan, Todd, and Clark are not testing indie waters, and they are not passing time
because they have nothing else to do. It really doesn't matter what I say here, because everyone
will eventually hear them anyway. Sometimes when you just listen to some independent band, you
know you're listening to something that's going to be large (like The Cars first album- nearly seven
of the nine tunes there became hits). That's similar to what I get here, wishing that there was
more rock involved, and the lyrics tallied up to the music mark (everyone writes about the ethics
of love anymore), it's still going to spin around the player because it's just plain good."

Review: I can't help but mention the influence that bands like Radiohead had on
"The People Involved." This is a very eclectic album within the rock realm. In comparison
to Radiohead, TPI play in a more driving manner. They also are not afraid to step outside t
he boundaries and throw in a few oddities. This is a well-rounded record that is very
well-written and recorded… |

"...If they get a major label deal, they
will definitley be the critics picks with songs like "Saints & Simpletons" which reminds me of
Soul Asylum meets Radiohead....it's a classic mix of alt energy with power pop, it really works! |

As a debut album, this is astonishing. There’s an intense dark and rhythmic feeling that not
many bands seem to have, or want to have. They are taking their own music to another level.
If there is one band I can say has the most hidden talent, I’d take time to consider this band. |

| "Purple" is a little erie in a cool way & the vocals have that Jeff Buckley quality to them, very
soft, sweet & emo, but not in a way that would rip off anyone, the singer has a great voice! It’s not only music, it seems more or less a soundtrack to a horror
movie. With the band's vocals it seems more like a soundtrack to a dream. They are one of the
new style of bands that put a lot more into their music than instruments and meaningless words.

"...Would you smash your head against a wall, vexing your brain in angst of hearing the same
barring sound time and again? I would and do! Fortunately there is no need for self-inflicted
migraine blur if you choose to tune into The People Involved, because there is a palatable sense
to their music similar to an eclectic mixture of rock and power pop (Supergrass, The Dandy Warhols),
and the impetuous urge that you're listening to a band that has propped their equipment next to
some major labels' door in hopes they can't get out and screw up an independent force field this
band has enclosed themselves in." |

This is a very good album,
leaving with you the impression that this band has the potential to go all the way and next time
make a classic one. Shades of The Cult and, as you say, early nineties Goth Rock, The People Involved
here have done a sterling job.

These guys are from Los Angeles, and don’t seem to care what anyone thinks.
They are just happy about making their own brand of music. To me they sound
like a more rockin’ Radiohead, with a hint of 80s melancholy melody similar to
Simple Minds or The Cure. |

| Writen and recorded in apparently just a few months - probably the best way, no countless
productions, just the vigour of an early idea committed to what would once have been vinyl,
but now mere noughts and ones. So a band form initially in Portland, Oregon, before moving (in part)
to the earth moving excesses of Los Angeles to further their carears as hell raisers; ethereal globe
trotters who by now should be sharing tales with St. Michael if their love of the Absinthe-nectar
had anything to do with it! |
