Product Description

After just a four week promo tour of intimate acoustic performances, the first single from Carolina Liar's debut effort Coming to Terms is exploding at Modern Rock Radio. Carolina Liar has also attracted the eyes and ears of MTV, becoming a featured band on the network's hit series The Hills. The tracks 'Beautiful World', 'Coming To Terms', and 'Show Me What I'm Looking for' have all been featured in episodes, as well as the video for 'I'm Not Over' appearing in the show's credit squeeze. In his day-to-day dealings with members of LA's music community, there are two things singer Chad Wolf has heard repeatedly. One involves praise for his songwriting skills, which seem to effortlessly toe the line between infectious pop music and a deeper, darker rock discourse. The other: disbelief. How did this classic struggling musician, who toiled away at coffeehouse gigs for most of his adult life, end up in one of Europe's biggest hit-making studios writing a full album of songs with a major label deal at his side? The story may seem far-fetched, some might even say too good to be true, but somewhere between accolades and accusations is honesty, which, ironically, is what Carolina Liar is all about.

5.0 out of 5 stars hard to beat, September 9, 2008

By	D. J. Barber (launceston, Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Now and again a musician has a watershed moment in their life where the music they created on paper is envisioned and captured by a producer who knows exactly what is needed to get the best out of each song. After listening to music consistently for 40 years you pick up a thing or to about what a hit album consists of. In that time I have heard some excellent releases across the genres in music. All the best albums had a consistency about them from start to finish. Carolina Liars release Coming to Terms is an album like that. I do not review albums as a rule. I felt I had to with this; it is that good. If this does not end up rating as one of the best new releases ever then the music industry has lost the plot. The only problem for the artist in my opinion is I don't know how they can outdo this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Fresh Sound, December 6, 2008

By	J. Hildebrandt "DubFranchise" (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Great album on the whole, nice synth driven rythms throughout and thoughtful vocals. Pretty much every track is a winner, you will get a lot of listens from this album, though "All That Sh** is gone", "california bound" and "show me what im looking for" were standouts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Holy COW People - this is the REAL DEAL!, July 11, 2008

By	Rock out w/ your cock out! (Jersey) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Coming To Terms (MP3 Download)

Wake up People! Maybe a hint of British Rock, a hint of 80's synth pop rock, w/ an alternative twist of lime, the REAL DEAL! Freshest sounding CD I have heard in a LONG time. Ever get pissed because you buy a CD with one, maybe two good songs? EVERY SONG is killer here! Buy it, download it, whatever - get it!
