Few bands have the magnetism that Comas have, a special band. they just capture it. Broken West should be opening for them.

From track 1 - 10 this is pure dynamite! The Comas blend a new sound of instrumental beats, fuzzy guitar solo's and amazing keyboards blended with psychedelic sounds of yesterday. I would recommend any music lover picking up "Spells".. The band show's there diverse style in almost every song. Definitly the best I've heard in 07..

This was a lucky find on Amazon. I had no idea who The Comas were, but the odd cover attracted me enough to check the previews of the songs and I liked their sound instantly. Some of the melodies are simply brilliant and my absolute favorite songs are "now I'm a spider" and "come my sunshine". Now I still don't know who the Comas are, but I sure am glad I purchased this cd. Refreshing!

I have been following The Comas for quite a long time, and I consider them one of the best new bands out there anywhere. The new "Spells" CD is their best work yet. Look for great things from this band!

I love this style of rock, big fuzzed-toned guitars with group vocals (no particular voice stands out here), songs like "Come My Sunshine" really hit the mark. The same sound can be taken down a notch and turned into a bliss out like "Now I'm a Spider" and works just as well. The only problem here is that the material doesn't rise to match the sound. "Red Microphones" is a good example of a song that tries to build around a hook that just isn't there, and ends up meandering off when the center falls apart. I don't know what they can do about the song writing, probably nothing - some people can write hooks (and become music gods) and some can't. Possibly they will get lucky, but for the meantime it would help if they concentrated on maintaining a groove, because switching gears just wrecks a song like "New Wolf" that could have worked.
