arthur shepherd is a singer, reluctant guitar player and the crown prince of chronic fatalism. he is barely held together by the six string slinger and sommelier in training, joseph grillo. the other side of the sonic spectrum is occupied by the low end grooves of the wizard shoe wearing john wilkinson and the gut wrenching beats of the king of the lower east side, mr. tricky 6, drew thomas.

A Billion Balconies Facing The Sun voted amongst iTunes top rock albums of 2008.
"The bands debut, A Billion Balconies Facing The Sun, shows a band balancing its indie experimental leanings with a healthy respect for good old fashioned hooks."
- Revolver Magazine
"...These songs aren't just serious - awesomeness also abounds, taking a love of early 90s indie and meshing it with accomplished, scene-free-alt-rock songwriting that comes with knowing your shit."
- Rock Sound Magazine
“NY quartet God Fires Man straddle punk, hardcore and alt-rock with note-perfect precision.”
- Kerrang!
"Taking cues from Muse and subtle instruction from Smashing Pumpkins,
A Billion Balconies Facing The Sun is relentless in its quest to
suffocate you with melody and fuzz. In a whirlwind of guitar-driven
melodrama, the first full -length pairs substantive lyrical content
with over-the-top, often howling instrumentation; the result sounds
studio-huge and skillfully crafted”
– Alternative Press
"From the electronic abrasions of NIN to Filter to the unfettered artisan slant of Jane's Addiction and Soundgarden with the expansive nature of Muse in tow, GFM keep their refined rage well-dressed while casting the ominous shadow of the distinct NYC skyline with driving tracks."
- Deli Magazine
"These songs are a rounded mix of influences from epic soundscapes to volatile guitar rock with a nod to their shoe-gazer heroes."
- Movement News
