Art Brut VS. Satan Out Now To Rave Reviews On Downtown Records  

NPR : “Art Brut vs. Satan, Argos goes back to what he knows. When a song titled “The Replacements” appears, it’s already the third of four consecutive tracks about rock ‘n’ roll itself. There are only two cuts about love, and soon enough, one of those (“What a Rush”) moves on to the subject of music, too”

Pitchfork : “If they can’t topple vague, pasty, barely breathing background rock from the charts, at least they can sing gloriously doomed songs about it.”

Tenth Studio LP You Cross My Path Out This September

Pitchfork : ” [You Cross My Path] is pretty representative of the dichotomy existent within You Cross My Path: as possibly their strongest work since Tellin’ Stories, it’s something that the Charlatans UK can expect to favorably speak for itself”

Maxim UK : “The grand old men of indie returned with their best album in years”

“Mean Creek commence a sharp blend of country-core”

Boston has fallen in love with Mean Creek….
“And with a clutch of splendid, heart-tugging melodies, Mean Creek, a striking foursome from Boston that opened the night, had a touch of the epic.”
The Boston Globe

“a local folksy, roots-leaning rock four-piece named after the award-winning indie film – meld sartorially as well as musically…”
Boston Phoenix

“One of the top 10 bands you must hear right now!”
Improper Bostonian

“A melodic tour de force”-
The Boston Herald

Mean Creek’s folksy Simon & Garfunkel harmonies anchor a sound that alternates between jangling and overdriven guitars. This could be the best lineup in Boston.”

RCRD LBL – These guys are infamous for riotous live musical performances- the kind that explodes sweaty southern roots gospel music throughout the room until everyone feels warm, gooey and swampy inside. (Which is kind of ironic seen as they are from Portland). It helps they use random equipment (like an oil funnel) as props and instruments. It also helps that they pass an assortment of lids and tambourines like a kindergarten teacher did during chorus class and let us all regress to our juvenile sing-along selves. Really, if you haven’t seen it yet, see it soon.

The Riders (Opening for Robin Trower)
House of Blues- San Diego, CA
5/27/2009

Tom Cusimano – Vocals, Guitar, Piano
Jimmy Olson – Drums
Mike Clairmont – Bass
Devin Shea – Violin
Niel MacPherson – Piano/Organ

First confession of the night, I didn’t stay for Robin Trower, the headliner for the night. I was more excited to see his openers, the Riders. The big question of the night I was hearing as people were lining up for Robin’s performance at the House Blues was, “What kind of music are the Riders?” Let me just answer that for everybody who wasn’t standing in that line. The Riders are a young classic rock sounding band. It’s hard not to sound like you came from the classic rock era when your producer/engineer team is made up of Richie Podolor and Bill Cooper (Three Dog Night, Steppenwolf, Michelle Branch).

Out Sept 22nd On Sister’s Den Records  / Play Pitchfork Festival July 18th
On East Coast Tour Now / Play Southpaw This Wednesday & June 4th With Art Brut  

“You could blame it on so many bands being from autophobic NYC, or that the Pacific Northwest gods of indie are still going too strong to already be a primary influence, but neither would explain New York’s Cymbals Eat Guitars’ Why There Are Mountains. While there’s plenty of geographical signifiers on their debut, it’s almost topographic in its approach, without hooks and choruses so much as map-like layouts of mountains and sloping valleys.” — Pitchfork [Best New Music]

“Why There Are Mountains may be one of the best ‘indie’ (the album is self-released, so, y’know, actually ‘indie’) albums of the year. And with the major label skyline being obliterated like something out of Independence Day, it’s time to batten down the hatches.” – NME
