| Mates of State my solo project |
| Emerging out of the scene at full force with my solo project, Mates of State head straight into Polyvinyl with this one of a kind sound of keyboard instrumentals and female lullabys. Overflowing with heartfull vocals aided with sweet guitar crys and unique keyboard melodies, my solo project show the deep undergound verson of indie rock. With songs such as proofs and la'hov combine sad scenerios with angry ballads to create emotional lullabies provided by female vocals. |
| This release descibes the purity of the band up to date giving the listener a unique and amazing record of sound. My solo project reveals an amazing band with hard thoughout lyrics giving anyone a wiff of the Kansas indie scene. Full proof record with impulsive hums and instrumentals. |

| The Get Up Kids On a Wire |
| Entering back into the scene with an amazing new record since, something to write home about, the Get Up Kids release on a wire pretty much picking up where something.. left off. Adding a much more "indie" sound to their music, they throw out softer and slower sounding melodies compared to the fast high pitched sounds of something.. On a wire supply amazing strings which go far in depth with their vocals such as "overdue" which sum up their new sound. |
| Not sure what to think when i picked up the record because of vagrant's new pop sell out sounds of other bands on the label, i was completly satisfied with the results. Throwing out complex vocal melodies (Pryor) accompained by the sounds of layed back guitar, On a wire expresses the new sounds of indie rock revealing catchy yet unrevealing emotions to perfection. No flaws and more action action, The Get Up Kids hit up the record shops with another record of soft emotional melodies shoving amazing lyrics and brilliant guitar lines into one package. On a wire has the potential to be up there with the brilliant sounds of Something to Write Home About, another creative and one of a kind release by the Boston emo mob, anyones baby. |
