About Call It Arson

"...Split-personality bands are rarely this successful. Call It Arson is adept at both lo-fi folk (the shaky-dog vocals and strummed acoustic guitars evoke early-period Bright Eyes) and a new strain of intelligent hardcore (the double-time riffing on "The Unmanageable Superstate" has a harmonica line cutting through it). This Connecticut quartet does more in six songs than most bands do in an entire discography."

Magnet Magazine, No. 75

"The world could use more smolderingly political musical acts. Hailing from over yonder in Connecticut, rock act Call It Arson eschews a crap load of influences to create a wholly new sound. They fill the ’90s gap between Gin Blossoms and Sunny Day Real Estate; the band’s songs are sort of rocky, sort of folky, and mostly good. On top of all that is a lyrical approach that’s kind of Jackson Browne-y, kind of Minor Threat-y. Basically, Call It Arson is an awesome rock band with lyrics that are politically incisive while remaining vague enough to apply to a wide range of listeners. The band’s latest release, the EP “The Animal Strings Album,” showcases the band’s many influences."

Wonka Vision, June 18th 2007

"Mixing hardcore and folk is not something I would ever think could work so well, but somehow Call It Arson have taken the best parts of both genres and thrown them together on ’The Animal Strings Album’ to make an album that touches on both personal and political issues without ever seeming hackneyed or cliched. Jumping between balls to the floor, loud full on rock sounding songs and quieter stripped down acoustic numbers in an effortless manner over the span of the six songs on ’The Animal Strings Album’, Call It Arson prove to be masters of both sounds."
