Press Reviews
"The airy, thick tones that slide out of the speakers and into the ear form a shag carpet of melodies that blanket thee entire room, trapping inhabitants in its sonic grip.
Moore does a fine job of bringing to mind a catchy, new wave sound out of the bowels of the mammoth piece of equipment, allying with Berkson's sometimes basic, sometimes wild, always poppy drumbeats to call the mind the '80s new wave sound.
Together, the two form a strage harmony that runs parrallel with the music they're making.
Berkson sits passive, though attentive, erect and tight-jawed behind her drumset. through a storm of uppity pop beats and spastic, technically complex fills, while Moore snaps his head back and forth as if the organist in a Gospel Sunday extravaganza, moppy hair falling into his face, eyes rolling back into his head, sometimes holding a chord and dragging a pull off a beer mid song.
