After the great success of "Composure," the "Telescopes" EP is possibly one of those gems of music which is often overlooked. When I first got this cd back in 2006, I initially got it because of hearing tracks such as "julian" and "Flowers..." online. That same year I took that cd on a road-trip across country, and though it wasn't the only cd I listened to it did get a lot of play time. Two years later, the melodies of waking ashland (RIP) are still getting stuck in my head. This cd is nothing but a catchy and brilliant piece of artistry which most likely, if you appreciated "Composure," will never get old.

Be sure to check out "We shot the moon" - Jonathan's new band with two guys from the band Sherwood. They sound awesome and very much like Waking Ashland did on "Telescopes" and its predecessor "Composure"

So you like the catchy and melodic tunes from such bands as The Classic Crime, well then you should run out and pick up this album. I promise you that you will not be disappointed. It is amazing, and I was impressed immediately. You should buy the CD, and catch a live show or two afterwards. They are a incredibly hardworking band, and I'm very impressed with the effort put forth on this disc. I recommend you stay tuned for more to come as well.

This is great music. The CD even included some music videos that I could play on the computer.

A must have for Waking Ashland fans or anyone who's a fan of good music. I paid a little extra and ordered the Japanese import because I couldn't wait for the US release. Every song sounds amazing. This EP is well worth your money, you won't be disappointed. Plus you get two live videos, what more can you ask for? If you're willing to spend a little more, I recommend ordering the Japanese version since you get two bonus tracks (acoustic versions of "October Skies" and "I Am For You") that aren't on the US version. Be sure to catch one of their shows if you ever get the chance. I've been lucky enough to make it to 6+ of their shows and they sounded incredible every time. Jonathan and Ryan are extremely talented, sweet, hardworking, and deserve all the success in the world. Anyway, help support this great San Diego indie band and be sure to pick up a copy of their previous album and EP if you haven't already.
