Press Reviews "It's best to call them acoustic rock, I guess. Their homegrown tunesresonate with strains of Crowded House, the Louvin Brothers, the Byrds,and maybe a touch of Costello and Sinatra. Instrumentally, theirtightly-wound arrangements snap and swerve and connect. Vocally, theycrackle like caged lightning and blend into creamery butter. Abandonyour vision of a bland prairie and see what windswept is all about." -- Scout Indie review
