Albums Frame of Mind

Press Reviews Railer is an album away from melting the icecap. These guys have "it". It’s an inarguable point that music along these lines peaked in 1989 with the release of Depeche Mode’s Violator. Nine Inch Nails provided several spikes in the genre long ago, and Railer is an unknown looking to push the this stock market back into the black. Invest now. - J. Bills, Starpolish.com Railer sports an... atmospheric post-punk sound, using excellent guitars with just enough effects (not too much air in them), some sinewy, soundtracky keyboards, lead breaks, simple building-block drumming, and more-than-fair vocals from leader Randall Scott. The band can¹t afford the heating on their studio where they rehearse and record, but these guys don't complain, they do. 'Resolute' indeed. - Jack Rabid, The Big Takeover For a debut-effort, recorded in humble surroundings and by the band themselves, this is exemplary – a complete triumph, evident of ability over budget and talent over hype, possessive of song-writing skills lacking from many of those top artists currently at the paramount position of their careers. 4 Stars **** - Toby L, Rockfeedback.com
