Editorial Reviews

Review

My First Earthquake's bold, synth-riddled indie pop, rooted in Mates of State's angularity and Of Montreal's multi-instrumental jumpiness, places them in the same musical territory as the Kills, the Sounds, and the Blow. --AllMusic.com

Review

Downstairs is a display of the do-it-yourself spirit culminated. A notable track on the album is Vow to Vowels. With its catchy dance rhythm, organ melody, driving bass, and infectious vocals, one can't help but get out their seat and shake it a little (or a lot). The whole album treks across the landscape of tight-synth induced dance pop, making a promise out of the four musicians' abilities as a group. --The Bay Bridged

I have both of their albums, and don't regret the purchase at all. If you are young, and like good music, you will love this album. If you are 30-40 something and thought Souxsie, Devo, Heaven 17, and X Ray Spex were cool, then you will love this album.

Not much more to say, they are a great band, and the lyrics are very well thought out...
