  • Bio

    "....strong songs. All ringing guitars, rolling drums and smart as hell lyrics. It really is a very classy little record." -Terry Hermon, Bucket Full Of Brains (London) "Tall, Dark and Has Been is almost evenly divided between wistful ballads and more energetic songs. If the Disappointments continue to produce albums that are as much fun as Tall Dark And Hasbeen, they might have a hard time finding things to be disappointed about..." -Terrence Flamm, The Illinois Entertainer This is rock 'n' roll that is fun and carefree, bright melodies, happy tunes (even when they try to be sad), bouncing and bopping around with a sound that is equal parts 80's power-pop and 90's post-punk rock. The songs put a smile on your face and the beats get you moving. Not the tightest or the most original, The Disappointments know what they do and do it well, well enough to keep you listening and enjoying every moment. - Alex Steininger, In Music We Trust
