Press Reviews Infectious Pop! I haven't enjoyed a bouncy pop song that much since Apple in Stereo... good stuff! Unfortunately, I don't have any criticisms, since I liked it... just the stuff to get me through the work day! Review of All Things Good by: xradius from Austin, Texas------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now this is something! Smashing beginning and then finally, some well-recorded, intelligible vocals. This sounds kind of like Badfinger meets the Replacements...a very good combination, in my book. I like the vocal when it gets high in the middle. Guitars are real analog sounding...no fakes here, am I right? Vocalist doesn't sound like a machine either, with an endearing bent note here or there. The walking bass playing is very McCartney-ish, and it sounds like you've got Ringo on the drums, so you guys are set up. Production wise, I love this (although there's some overloading/distortion near the end).This is one my top three songs out of the hundreds (thousands?)I've heard here. Now we're gettin' somewhere! Review of In Your Room Beside You by: vcgraves from Saint Petersburg, Florida------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This guy's a natural Uncomplicated, unpretentious. Relaxed. Great lyrics, with real natural phrasing that's just enough outside the ordinary to raise a smile and engage me - "Tell me your thoughts about everything, and I'll pretend I'm listen-ing". - "And if you want to hold me tight, you're more than welcome to". Love the slow section, the way you pull the tempo down is great - not often heard these days. Some rough edges in the production, but that adds to the effect - keep it loose!
