Cue the press quotes.... LIGHTS! COLOUR! EXCITEMENT!
"...By Flashing Lights and True Love is a constantly morphing listen; one minute you're walking down the street and witness hundreds of pigeons flying in figure eights and the ascending guitar slides on 'It's Too Loud' perfectly coincide with the visual beats the whites from under their wings make, the next the monotonous yet annoying drones of clones on the public transit system are completely drowned out by the music... By Flashing Lights and True Love is an epic experience that needs to be lived in,from the see-saw of mumbling chants, catchy pop and guitar shredding in 'Thoughts Make a Widow on a Plane Over Tofino' to the surf riff in the thrilling 'My Communista and I'" Jessica Lewis (Exclaim)
"...After the Weather was best described in the NXNE booklet “if you like bone chilling sonic punk opera”. Seriously I can’t say it any better then that. The drummer loved to hit those drums so hard that at one point I swear he was going to lose his arm through his drums. He did lose his seat and wound up on the floor at one point, almost taking out the curtains and NXNE banner on stage. The singers voice reminded me of a young Jeff Buckley very hypnotizing, very sexy. Meanwhile the bass player would chime in with some yodeling or opera screams that at first was like “what the hell?” but whatever, it totally worked. Great performance by all..." North by East West
"After the Weather make “psychedelic power pop,” they say, a reasonable assessment of the eclectic rock on this impressive but imperfect sophomore release. One track shimmers like early ’90s shoegazing, another is just a few bong hits shy of reggae, yet another revels in lean blues angst and several songs find the local trio rearing their (early) Radiohead. 7/10 Lorraine Carpenter (Montreal Mirror)
"...If you get a chance to see these guys live, you should go do it without a second thought.
Maybe with a little more time and financing they’ll force themselves into everybody’s’
aural space and make the name for them that they are absolutely entitled to..." Two Way Monologues
"...Sei canzoni energiche che ruotano attorno a voce e chitarre elettriche. Voce sofferta,
a tratti malinconica, e chitarre che riescono ad essere melodiose, quando serve,
ma anche ruvide e graffianti con i loro riff. E poi c'è il basso che si insinua,
facendo ottimamente la sua parte, anch'essa di rilievo..." nuovamusica
"...Montreal's After The Weather are an amazing band to see
live,...I'm looking forward to seeing them return to Toronto sometime in the
near future... " It's Not The Band I hate, It's Their Fans
"...The guitars are moody and atmospheric, but still carry a rawness with them and are balanced nicely by the stellar bass lines that Rob Helsten delivers. If the vocals and guitar are the heart of After the Weather, Helston’s riff and fills are the soul...it’s the head nodding bass that explodes out of your headphones that keeps the track moving..." Herohill

That was a great set at Rancho Relaxo. A repertoire that goes from atmospheric indie rock, neo-psychedelia, to jazz and hints of prog. An irresistable, eclectic sound that encompasses a wide breadth of styles.
