Editorial Reviews

Metro Times, March 16 2005
Capitol Years certainly tip caps to their influences, but unique hooks and smart songwriting always sell their present day.

Big Yawn:March 2005
The result is a record that could easily be mistaken by record geeks as a 60s underground lost-classic."

4.0 out of 5 stars Faces and Beer, Beatles and garage, June 9, 2005

By	Matthew Seeley "makersmatt" (Albany, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I first heard The Capitol Years when they were essentially a one-man operation with alt-country leanings, when I stumbled on the fantastic song, "Faces and Beer." Since then they've evolved into a fully realized band and released the blistering garage rock Jewelry Store EP, which found them losing their acoustic guitars in favor of raw, high energy, electric rock and roll. On Let Them Drink, they combine the best of their songcrafting instincts, letting their inner Beatles shine with a white, bright light, while keeping it raw, real, and rocking. Every incarnation of The Capitol Years is worth checking out if you are a fan of roots, garage, or pop rock, to be honest - they continue to prove themselves to be inspired in everything they do.

5.0 out of 5 stars im hooked, May 24, 2005

By	R. L. Wilson "rl_sideburns" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I picked this one up 3 weeks ago and it hasen't left my player. The bass lines are amazing, the guitar riffs are some of the catchiest i've heard, and the vocals are perfect for screaming along with. If you like gettin' your socks rocked off then buy this one.
