Press Reviews
"Led Zeppelin meet the Eagles, get drunk in a bar run by Tom Petty, and start a bar fight with Bob Dylan. Dylan wins, eveybody makes up and gets friendly. Then no soap radio, who have been sitting in the corner all this time, write songs about it." - Karma Farm Radio ***********
"Nothing Left To Lose" ... oooh love that acoustic plucky line at the start ... this is a definite Beatles melodically influenced song ... circa 1965 and Rubber Soul. Good catchy songs guys, I like them. Mark Howell ******** Swampland: Dreamy americana from toronto? This song captures the swamplands essence, although the title never comes up. The handclapping is a nice touch, a carload of drugged out bayou travellers entertaining themselves to the am radio. The melody was nice and warm. The song's feel and attitude match the lyrics. Ando. ******** Swampland: Nice beat, groovin' acoustic guitar, and psycho-monkeeish vocals. Acoustic Internet Radio ******** Swampland: Just try to not tap your feet and shake your stuff to this song. Go on - just try it. A lilting folk/rock tune rising with sweet harmonies from the Swampland.... Unplugged Radio ******** a missive: These guys are great songwriters - check em out! American Music Radio ******** Embargo: "Middle Americana...Well crafted and original song. Vocal harmonies are unique and tight. The lyric is refreshing, I only wish there was more to it." - BlueTrane, Atlanta, Georgia ******** Embargo: Jackson Browne, keep an eye out on this group! VERY together vocals, all lyrics were not as clear as they're originality would dictate that they should be. Great original use of the standard beats. MgeeBarad - Brentwood, New York ******** Take Me Home: Love your voice! The male vocal really has an awesome and original voice, and I love the lyrics of this song. The backup adds a lot to the chorus, especially at the end. bunches - North Syracuse, New York ******** Take Me Home: Better lyrics than most on this site. Interesting vocal style. It's kept just enough in check to avoid being obnoxious and remain original. Kind of a strange old-school country production with a more modern vocal style. It like this song's mood quite a bit. Donkey Rider - Lawrence, Kansas ******* Crystal Ball: Really cool, very interesting. Honestly, make me think of Pink Floyd. Really interesting arangement. Nice stuff. loneranger - Mt. Upton, New York ***** Nothin Left to Lose: Nothing to lose is a winner! This song is interesting. I like the melody, the chord progression and the tune. This is pure, honest pop thats not trying to hide behind anything. Nice work! Stiltwalker - Newtown Square, Pennsylvania |
