is this thing on? (UK)
the draft
space city rock – “for dragging me back to the mid-’90s and reassuring me that I’m not misremembering the way it used to be back then, I have to say it: I freaking love this band.”
born to run (away) - “wow, what a giant step for Football, etc. this is! [...] It really is the perfect progression for the band.”
music liberation - “a pleasant mix of the melodic-emo of bands like The Appleseed Cast, the shoegazing indie-pop of The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, and the post-art-punk of Pretty Girls Make Graves”
mad mackerel - “indie-pop of the most infectious and sparklingly memorable kind.”
oh so fresh!- “The trio from Houston have soft vocals over energetic guitars that will captivate you from one listen.”
make my heart an instrument - Kyle Fischer of Rainer Maria’s blog
phrequency (WKDU blog) - #2 on TOP SPINS: February 14th-Feb 20th, 2011

away game 7″
7inches- “It has the unlikely sound of a band succeeding at adding vocals to epic Explosions, or Don Cab tracks that are somehow equally as compelling.”
star beat music- “This is a record you listen to with your eyes closed, so you can pay attention to every wonderful sound.”
the byke rack- “Lindsey Minton’s voice is nothing short of heavenly [...] infectious guitar lines, meticulous drumming and overall stronger songwriting in general. A big step up from a band already known for writing clever, memorable tunes”
split 7″ with empire!empire!
collective-zine UK- “Soft vocals merge nicely with the layers of jangly guitars making a big hug of a sound.”
rock and roll meandering nonsense- “They serve their indie up with decidedly less overt pop sheen [...] giving it a beautiful earthy life that eludes the formula.”
first down ep
dryvetyme onlyne- “the music itself has a very fresh swagger to it [...] a savory mix of fist-pumping with closed-eyed sway”
houston press- “loaded with the kind of springy bass lines, off-pitch vocals and gnarled guitar that prompted Collective Zine UK to liken the local trio to mid-’90s Wisconsin emo trailblazers Rainer Maria, and we see no reason to disagree.”
writing in basic UK- “a more poppy Jejune with a little PJ Harvey on the vocals.”
violent tango blog- “lindsay’s lackadaisical, slightly off-key vocals are as infectious as the bouncy melodies.”
etc.
