Press Reviews 'Indie' or 'Alternative' music ... these terms are beginning to be as overused as an intercepted Victoria's Secret catalogue in a 13 year old kid's room. It used to be that those who sought something truly different could look to bands in this 'genre' for diversity and richness in sound. Like many things these days, it just takes a little Colombo work to find them. Noc26 is a group that belongs to the indie legacy. Their songs are well-rooted in the world of music and art, not for the sake of fame as much as their craft. This is immediately apparent on their IUMA site which feels as homespun and collaborative as their tunes. 'Misery Sweet' is a jangly progression with an off-beat drag which compliments the stop/start phrasing of the verses. An acoustic and vocals lead you into a melodic song which seems to be scanning the horizon for the dawn of a new day. 'The Reasons Why' leans back from storytelling and instead presents some scratchy riffs with lendings courtesy of Weezer with a strong, full-bodied outro... 'Plastic, Purple and Pushing Down' returns to the acoustic to tell the story of how she talks with her eyelids while 'High, High' keeps her just out of reach. 'Free' is a love song, pure and simple. I get a sense of diversity from this band and that's a good thing. I would love to get more of a common thread that makes them Noc26, but since they were just born in 99, I think time will deliver that. There is a wide range here spanning from an early Talking Heads feel, to The Rievers, to Weezer and back around to Sundays (music-wise) on some of the slower tunes. All-in-all... local band from Oxford, PA does good - keep it comin'. Peace - Blake. Moderator: Blake Rassmussen - phillymusic.com The new sound is like a resivour in a quarry...seemingly simple but frighteningly deep. - joel wasko - show promoter Noc26 "Clearance 6'10"" NEW It's hard to find indie rock bands that can be enjoyed by everyone. noc26 is one of those bands. Blending Indie- College Rock with heart and soul rock n roll. Very radio friendly but still has the ability to rock. It reminds me of Jimmy Eat World with Weezer-type harmonies. There are four songs on this CD and it looks pretty DIY, but it's still a good time.
