Oxford Collapse

So One of my favorite bands is coming to Birmingham. Hailing from Brooklyn these crazy cats make rolling guitar rock at both fast and slow paces. its the sound of summer. Its the sound you fell in love with in Jr. High. Its the sound of your best friends band as they practice in your neighbors garage. And they are coming this Monday!

"It makes you feel. It makes you believe. And makes you forget where it came from, makes you happy that someone was able to carry the torch without snuffing it out. And that they did. Even if they are [insert long drawn-out sigh here] from Brooklyn.

So how did they do it? Good question. Might have something to do with the way their music feels so effortless and confident, gritty and graceful. You can tell they weren't trying too hard. They weren't looking to replicate a sound or an attitude. They just wanted to make the music they loved. Also it seems they were willing to lend parts of their collective self to the music and came out with something original because of that. What they offer is a cross between tame and fired-up, melodic and heavy, calm and snotty. What they offer is an excellent continuation of punk and indie rock's legacy. And if you're a fan of either, you'll dig this."

thats a quote from Numo magazines
