Notes
This is instantly, effortlessly catchy, four-part harmonied acousto-art-pop, played and sung with vigor and skill by four guys to whom familiarity with their instruments actually means something. -Rick Koster, New London Day Based around two acoustic guitars, with a propulsive drums and electric bass rhythm section and four-part harmonies, Steep is a literate, inventive and always catchy collection of hook-laden songs. Whether confronting the not always clear-cut aspects of maturity ('Treehouse'), stalkers ('Follow Through'), lookng back at a childhood friend's suicide (the unbelieveably great 'On'), a reflection on politics inspired by Mr. Smith Goes to Washington ('Stop and Think'), or a letter-in-diatribe from Beelzelbub to Jesus ('Unattainable'), Steep is far above and beyond any standard rock radio fare currently atop the charts. -Patrick Gaudin, Buddy Magazine, Dallas Texas.
