    PRESS QUOTES "During the young Dallas band's set on Sunday, the singer went wail for wail with System of a Down's Serj Tankian (who signed them to his label) and later convulsed like Iggy and hit the floor, helping intensify the band's potent emotional hard rock." --Richard Cromelin on lead singer Darroh Sudderth at Coachella 2007, Los Angeles Times (5/1/07) .. .. "…it's Texan quintet Fair To Midland who steal tonight's show, with their off-kilter, keyboard-laden alt-prog rock, falling somewhere in between the soaring heights of Dredg, the erratic gentleness of Coheed And Cambria and the Mars Volta's visionary psychofugues." – Daniel Lukes, Kerrang! (3/2/07) .. .. "…Fair to Midland are ultra-eclectic, but their multitracked warbling, dexterous piano caresses, flecks of falsetto, and guitars more sturdy than shreddy lend their art-rock an organic, almost folkie fireside glow. Judging by the live tracks on their Drawn and Quartered EP, these Texans can light up a stage too." -- Paul Rogers, LA Weekly (2/22/07) .. .. "Texas' Fair to Midland…promises to make commercial inroads with its punchy, melodic guitar rock and unusually strong songwriting." -- Greg Burke, Los Angeles Times (2/21/07) .. .. "…Darroh Sudderth's vocals are a strength: he matches his bandmates' backing with ferocity and range, lifting denser songs "Dance of the Manatee" and the jagged "Vice/Versa" with clarity. "The Wife, the Kids and the White Picket Fence" varies the pace with piano, strings and a surprisingly sweet melody, offering an accessible entry point for more mainstream listeners and showing Fair to Midland aren't afraid to show their wistful side." --Abby McDonald, Artist Direct (6/8/07) .. .. "…the progressive alternative quintet's strengths are brought to the forefront on this superbly produced and rather dynamic debut effort. Vocalist Darroh Sudderth has a set of pipes that most bands would dream of, garnering the ability to hit balloon-popping highs and window-rattling lows within an instant of each other." --Dustin Bennett, Synthesis Weekly (Volume 13, Issue 42) .. .. "Vocalist Darroh Sudderth transforms from a timid frontman to a spasmatic burst of flailing arms and uninhibited vocal explosions that make him one of the most courageous singers in rock music…F2M are not a band that's going to just hand you a sing-a-long chorus, or a moshable beat. Like The Mars Volta or Tool, their skills are multifaceted and require more than just a distracted listen to fully appreciate. This is a band that deserves to be applauded for the chances they are taking." -- Jennifer Cray, Ink19.com.. ..
