Albums Arrival

Press Reviews …bright melodies and lovingly crafted arrangements are bound to please fans of such revered pop stylists as Squeeze (clever lyrics), Jellyfish (bouncy organ riffs) and even Gin Blossoms (occasional rueful twang). -Washington Post …well-written, taut power pop songs with a kind of Jellyfish-meets-the Tories vibe… -David Bash, International Pop Overthrow Power-Popsters bounce and jangle admirably through sunny, percussive gems. Think Badfinger and Elliott Smith's Baby Britain -Listen.com Simply put, one of Baltimore's best. - Dave Marsh, WHFS Baltimore-Annapolis-DC …hook-laden, sweet-harmony power pop - Philadelphia Inquirer AWESOME! After their debut release showed a proficient tendency to mimic, delightfully, Tommy Keene, RTW step into their own light and leave most of the more obvious starting points of their sound behind and deliver a mini-tour-de-force, extremely pleasing second effort. … certainly a lot of Matthew Sweet/Tommy Keene's influence still seeps in (and ain't nuthin' wrong with that, folks!), all one hears on the landscape of this consistently enjoyable disc is a super-highway of monstrously catchy hooks, purely pop song craft and impressive vocals. - Not Lame catalog description of Arrival Cool, breezy guitar pop delivered beautifully - that's what Rocket Transfer Warehouse's Arrival is all about... ...Consider Arrival as a CD that indeed surpasses whatever promise attached to the band after their 1997 debut. - Claudio Sossi, Shake It Up Rocket Transfer Warehouse doesn't waste any time establishing its credentials as a bona fide power pop band on its latest album, Arrival.... ...a polished disc that will stand the test of time for pop/rock listeners. - Eric Sorensen, Amplifier Magazine
