Bash refers to himself as “a lucky human being,” and you can tell from the way he expresses himself that he's genuinely happy.

Ugly Boys have it going on. Gorgeous vocal harmonies and a captivating melody make 'Old News' a definite winner.

I really like 'Preaching to the Choir.' It is mainstream pop in flavor and color, but different and refreshing.

Anticipation for the new album is at fever pitch, because Nicky’s intimate lyricism and soulful delivery strikes a chord in the hearts of listeners.

'Revisited' is betwixt and between, a mish-mash of good tunes with mediocre tunes. The melodies would be better served with reduced flamboyance and grandiosity, especially the vocal harmonies, which too often reach levels of overcompensation.

The highlights of 'In Silver Halides' are the silky-smooth melodies and Deakin’s hushed velvety voice. This is an album rife with beautiful, soft music tip-toeing between orchestral prog rock and buttery acoustic/classicism. 'In Silver Halides' projects lush excellence.

Wow! 'Pulse' is surprisingly good. The melodies are lustrous and expansive, while the rhythms ache with splendid muted buffeting. Chandler’s voice is easy to listen to and rife with velvety sonority. I enjoyed 'Pulse' and recommend it to you.

'High on Love (Cant’ Get Too)' is a buff and nastily tight song. The funky melody writhes with chill, fresh dynamics, as the rhythmic pulsations flex with muscularity. With this tune, Karen Atkins delivers music rife with enormous frisson.

This is a beautiful album, full of sumptuous rich melodies laced with exquisite, mellow energy. Reed’s voice is easy to listen to, placid and satisfying. 'If All the World Were Right' is perfect for chilling on a sunny afternoon.

'Brand New Shoes' unleashes Josh Pfeiffer's velvety baritone to excellent effect.
