PRESS FOR THE MADISON SQUARE GARDENERS:
"You’d be forgiven if you didn’t quite believe that DNC opening act the Madison Square Gardeners are New Yorkers. But indigenous rockers they are (and young enough to be successors to the Old 97s’ legacy, to boot). In addition to tight songwriting, the band features playing that’s louder live than that of many metal bands. While delivery hinges a tad on Rhett Miller, the songwriting is closer to a cousin of early Tom Petty. If modern country music as a genre knew what was good for it, it would sound like this — not Toby Keith. Remember that, modern country radio? When you featured real talent rather than reactionary shit and Jessica Simpson in short shorts? It is possible to love the genre, even if the MSG are technically closer to being filed under 'Americana' in the record store for all official purposes. Then again, Fountains of Wayne would probably be more likely to write a song like 'My Ex-Girlfriend Is a Bad Lesbian on Drugs,' so there really is something here for everyone, even if you don’t fancy yourself a fan of the country genre. Eat your heart out, Toby Keith."
