PRESS QUOTES ABOUT OUR WORK

“The hooks really jumped
up and knocked me out!”
-Richard Milne WXRT
Radio Chicago

“… prepare yourself for some nice harmonies! …good arrangements with nice hooks and good variation with both acoustic and electric guitars. Out of the 12
tracks on the album every one has something to offer.”
-Midwestern Skies Music Magazine

“They have their own particular stamp, characterized by the great production & the fact that their music sounds very tight & well
rehearsed. "The Fall" (is) a real step above both performance & songwriting passion.”
-hEARd Music Magazine

“As heavily laden with pop hooks as a gas station flystrip is with flies in August…Release presents you with slickly-produced, wildfire catchy, easily hummable pop. Given their playing talents, their hopes
of filling a stadium could easily bear fruit by the bushel.
-Jenn Sikes Splendid Music E-Zine

“Modern Rock doesn’t get any better than this!”
-Peace Work Music

” Release is Pop/Rock with the emotional aspect of
emo and lyrics that touch reality. Instead of crooning about my life, Release
croons about real life. Release s music is
definitely rock but there s enough pop for people that listen to Spears and
enough substance for someone who listens to Lifehouse. In certain songs
I detect a country-ish twang. In my opinion this twang could be helpful
to Release when they hit it big (Which I am sure they will), because not only will the rock music lover buy a Release CD but the country music listener also. I have really enjoyed this CD. Release has something
that many bands don t have; the guts to say what they want in a song, not what people want to hear. This as a compliment, because I think Release connects with their fans and listeners on
an emotional level. That is wherethe emotional aspect of emo comes in. “ -Adam -Ferguson SongReviewCentral.com magazine
