Press Reviews Fracture Fanzine: Before I even knew OSTERMAN WEEKEND I knew they'd play powerful, driving melodic hardcore along the lines of TEXAS IS THE REASON. Track two, "Milestone" is the most TEXAS of the tunes, and the rest are impassioned, guitar-led right-on emo. There are hints of RITES OF SPRING, FARSIDE, SENSEFIELD and more. All Held together by a solid production, beautiful packaging and great lyrics. Live they rocked out something special. Superb. (HE) Collective-Zine: They sound like melodic emo rock to me, you know, like Texas is the Reason crossed with the first Mineral LP. You probably personally know at least 9 people who are in bands like this – i.e. They have lots of melodic twinkly parts (the intro to "Iron On" is beautiful) combined with driving rock outs and forceful guitars. Adz' vocals move from sung to sung loudly.. They have a rather British feel to the whole thing, coming across in a way similar to oldies Tribute, and they are also similar to what the Jay Schraeder band sounded like when they started out. I think the Osterman's have done a pretty solid job here, it's hard to stand out in a music genre swamped with bands that all sound the same, but I enjoyed listening to these songs and found them catchy. They also throw in some good atmospheric samples, neat. They have 4 songs, lasting 22 and a bit minutes. It's emo rock, so you know what you're getting. Above average for this style in that it didn't make me think nasty things about nu-emo. It's refreshingly 1997 in style, and a lot of people will be well into this. (ANDY MALCOLM)
