If you like rock but not the same old melodies that are found in rock music today then you'll like Porcelain Empire.

If you like punk but you don't like the screaming or unusual chord changes, then you'll like Porcelain Empire.

If you like old 80's pop-rock that contained very catchy lyrics and great tunes to hum to, you'll fall in love with Porcelain Empire.

The Winter Sounds have really done it this time with their latest album, Porcelain Empire. Try to imagine punk, alternative rock, and disco music all slammed together and backed by harmonic vocals. You'll like this album if you like rock or if you don't. You may not realize what genre you're listening to because the harmonies will engulf you. It will leave a good impression on your mind after listening to this album, whether you prefer soft, hard, or pop music. If you've never heard this band before, listen to samples from Poor Sailors, Windy City Nights, Oblivion, and Gone To Save Mankind. I highly recommend buying this album and I also recommend seeing them perform. This is definitely a band to look out for. They are exploding with potential and WILL be big.

The Winter sounds are very talented. When it comes to underrated bands they are a great example. When i listen to The Winter Sounds i think wow How is this band not extremely popular. The instrumentals on this CD are very unique. I think this CD would be popular with anyone who enjoys rock and especially Indy Rock. This band should have a wide ranged fan base. I would personally recommend purchasing this CD.

Athens Georgia continues to produce amazing musical talent and The Winter Sounds are no exception. "Sound Forged Like Spine" was posted on a friends MySpace profile and immediately captivated me. The Winter Sounds have an indie rock sensibility that does not descend into trite cacophony. Lyrically illustrative, the harmonies they create on tracks like "Sound Forged Like Spine" and "Minnesota" float in and take you to a wonderfully nostalgic place. On drivers like "The Great Forgotten" they soar. In the weeks since I got this album I have, on numerous occasions, found myself humming a song and discovered that it was on this album. All-in-all, a standout album that I highly recommend.

If you love vocal harmonies, you'll LOVE The Winter Sounds. This CD is amazing and they are really great live as well. Gone to Save Mankind, Poor Sailors, and The Great Forgotten are (imho) the standout tracks.
