Press Reviews maitreya has appeared in virtually every local music paper in their hometown andsome in Vancouver, too many to count. This is a review of the the CD from OFFBEAT (college radio)magazine."Alternating delicate and strong percussive guitar layered over big, dark, distorted celoo, raspy,tortured vocals (how does he do that with histhroat!?!?!?), and bleak lyrics. Ah....-music to fantasize about elaborate methods of suicideby. These [sic] boys have packed their debut EPfull of blackness, angst, and self-loathing of the righteous adolescent kind. In an indiepop world where everyone is just bob bob bobbingalong on a wave of peppy guitar and drums,these BIG (and i mean very large) emotionsare refreshingly honest. -beth smith and andrea smith (no relation)
