"{Houses} will leave you covered in goosebumps and ready to fucking wrestle a buffalo." Westword, Kiernan Maletsky
"The band, six strong, kept up the liveliness through its entire set, with vocalist Andy Hamilton delivering soulful, deep fried vocals that stayed above the multitude of instrumentation. Definitely need to check this band out again." Westword, Dave Herrera
"I was quite surprised when Andy annouced between songs at the Meadowlark that this was the second time Houses had performed for a crowd. For a band that had only taken the stage once prior to Friday night, the buzz is already spreading among Denver music fans. After seeing the show, it’s easy to understand why." The Flat Response, Lance Stack
"At its best Houses is everything that is brilliant about the Denver music scene." {Syntax}, Jonathan Bitz
"Houses is one of the newly notable “super group” additions to the local music scene... This was only the band’s fifth show, and it was so well executed that it should put most Denver indie bands on notice." Denver Post, Lisa Gedgaudas
"From the broad and expansive instrumental opener, "Beach Song," to the soaring, near-gospel closer, "We'll See the Sun," each track is layered and powerful without being overbearing. It's as if the Allman Brothers and the Arcade Fire got together to pen the soundtrack to the sequel for the movie Almost Famous." Westword, Andy Thomas
"Houses is such a curt, domestic, common name for an uncommonly good band. Recently formed and already attracting major word-of-mouth buzz, the smart music of Houses is as expansive and refreshing as it is unclassifiable. Sometimes it shimmers and chimes, other times it just plain squalls with rock and roll." I Am Fuel, You Are Friends, Heather Browne
"Andy Hamilton's Houses -- which has taken its place, for the moment, as Denver's indie rock darling -- is as much a happening as a rock band." Westword, Eryc Eyl
"Houses sent the hi-dive to the mountaintop late on Friday night. No Jesus Christ, nothing like that, just a bar full of gooey hipsters, arm-in-arm. Houses were huge and warm and soaked in sweat and booze. They were a swarm of matted hair and an earsplitting racket of harmony and reverb and rattles from tambourines and jingle bells... This band has just the thing for the waning hours at a bar, when everyone is too drunk to be anything but earnest. I've had some time now to make sure I still believe this, and I do: This was one of ten best shows I've ever seen in my life. I was so full, so satisfied you'd have thought it was Thanksgiving." Westword, Dave Herrera
"With the release of its Spring EP this past April, Houses has quickly become one of Denver's most exciting bands, both live and on record. If there's any outfit that personifies the exuberance and exhilaration of living in the Mile High City, it's Houses." Westword, Dave Herrera
"Denver-based Houses is only a little over a year old, and has already achieved the exalted status of local darlings." A.V. Club, Patrick Kelly
"Mother Nature dropped the ball on the whole summertime thing this year, but Houses came through with a blast of sunshine that will still sound good in the dead of winter." A.V. Club, Matt Schild
"If you're not on the Houses bandwagon yet, there's still room to jump on. But do it quick, because this local band is heading for big things." Examiner, Laura McDonald
"Better Than: Prozac. Houses continues to be among the most entertaining bands in Denver. Andy Hamilton and crew delivered half an hour of warm and full pop magic, stuff you can sing along to even if it's your first time. They love this town, and between the whoah-ohhs, the fuzzy keyboard and the classic riffs, it's hard not to join them." Westword, Dave Herrera
Cannot wait to hear your new stuff! What a killer line-up at the high dive.
We want to come out on the 23rd, but, unfortunately, we aren't all 21!
We still wish you the best.
Also, we happened to see that you are playing the Larimer Lounge in November. We have played their twice before and love the venue, especially when we get to see other great bands showcase their talent.
You mentioned that you are waiting to announce more guests on the bill, if you need a slot filled, let us know!
Then again, a trio is rather meek, in the shadow of a seven-piece band! However, it would be very fun to play with you all.
I am so happy for you guys. Your songs are sounding so good! I still dont have any of your ep's so i may just have to keep burning up your myspace for songs.
