Sounds Like
"Graham-based Mismatch has a style that combines blues, rock, soul and even a little country." -John Larson; Tacoma Weekly
"Meigs has a deep sultry voice that drips with passion. Watching her sing with her eyes closed and fits clenched, you know she is remembering whatever it was that inspired the song. She moved around the stage feeling music while belting out the emotional lyrics."
-Beth Elliot; The Ledger (University of Washington Tacoma)
"I consider myself a music nerd, so comparing bands is generally pretty frickin’ easy. Still, every so often, a band stumps me and I need to admit defeat."
"The quartet of Rochelle Meigs (guitar, vocals), Chris Plogman (bass), Mike Plogman (guitar) and Steve Albert (drums) formed a little less than a year ago but are already causing quite a stir in the Northwest’s alternative music scene. Doing mostly self-penned material courtesy of Meigs’ knack to craft a good song, the band is highly original both musically and lyrically."
-Tony Engelhartl; The Weekly Volcano
