This time from our friend Drew Citron. Drew, baby, we love you, but "standard jam band aesthetic"? Come on, you're not making us any friends with that one. The hippies read it and think "hey, man, there's no standard jam bands." Whereas, the people who we want to listen to us (and we ourselves) read it and think, "ugh, a jam band. Let's see what's on Brooklyn Vegan."
We propose an alternative:

Okay, so we have no handy genre classification for ourselves. We, like every other band in Brooklyn, would like to be considered on our own terms. I guess we always figured we'd just leave the buzzwords to the label people and the reviewers. Maybe we just need to get some label people.
Anyway, here's the review, which aside from that bone of contention is very nice:

We are not ungrateful- we know no publicity is bad publicity. And we still dig your voice. And yes, that is really us kicking a dumpster.
The CD release show is, by the way, in the works. It is tentatively planned for the 5th of june, which is a friday. Stay tuned.
