Notes
'Remember how Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull and Yes were widely credited with cementing the legitimacy of the progressive rock genre in the late '60s and early '70s? How they heralded an evolution for music? Well, we might end up saying the same thing about the Pat Sajak Assassins decades from now. As a band that relies more upon instrumental layering instead of front-and-center vocals, PSA already shifts from the norm. But it's more than that -- the band also stacks synth, bass and percussion in ways that jolt listeners into truly hearing each beep and boop and set a new standard for music composition. Played in any order, the songs become an opera fit for R2-D2, and we can't wait to welcome our new robot overlords.' -Allison Babka "In the broadest sense, PSA is a rock band, but it's tendency to stray from straight-ahead rhythm, along with an almost total absence of recurring pieces, places the band in experimental territory. But Fleschute and Covey don't discount the use of melody or even pop structure. In this way, the group works as a gateway to a stranger realm of music while still remaining accessible." Joseph Hess - The Riverfront Times "They are like the weather; if you aren't digging a groove, just wait 30 seconds and they'll throw something totally different at you. It's a style that not many others are doing here or elsewhere. " Matt Fernandes - STLToday "Lunch?!? is not really meant to be felt. It's meant to be imagined and feared - music to be assassinated by. The new record lives up to the band name: This is music for accidental popular icons to be assassinated by." Confluence Cty - Confluence City.
