Albums Pieces of Yesterday - Debut CD

Press Reviews Hinge combines guitar-based rock with a modern-rock sensibility. The band also packs several nice hooks and melodies into Pieces of Yesterday. Add to the mixture some deep, contemplative lyrics, ranging from taking an introspective look within oneself, to reaching out to another with hopeful intentions. There is much substance and potential lurking within the band. These guys know their craft well. Pieces of Yesterday is definitely worth a good listen." -Dominic Dispaldo Rockpile Magazine"Stick your finger in a boiling pot of caramel and you'll feel something like the sweet heat generated by this fueled and passionate rock band. A fulfilling brew of driving beats. Music Juice Magazine
