A few nice things that people are saying about Mod Amish:
***********************************************************************
-ROCK-N-REEL (UK) review of "No Use For Sunshine"
"Mod Amish fuse ear-splitting punk and extraordinarily catchy pop on their fine second album, 'No Use For Sunshine.' Inspired by similarly melodic alt.rock outfits Husker Du, The Pixies, and Foo Fighters, the Southern California four piece are on the verge of great things."
"Talk about a grower. I swear everything about this disc just keeps getting better each and every time I play it...This is alt-rock done right, laden with melody and drive, and completely ignoring the mainstream... Heaping on piles of influences from the past and forcing them kicking and screaming through their own amps, Mod Amish will satisfy your alt-musical itch. God bless the underground."
-THE BIG TAKEOVER review of "No Use For Sunshine"
"Three chords is pretty much where Mod Amish’s No Use begins and ends, but in the case of these San Diegans, the simplest formula is the most effective. Axeslinger Shannon Jones harmonizes with himself atop a flurry of rugged riffage, with inspired salvos ranging from the incessantly catchy “September” to the spastic, demi-metal throwdown “The Vatican Song,” which closes out the album in a cathartic bloodbath. Sunshine is a record that aficionados of Hüsker Dü or Blink 182 can find common ground on… and how often does that happen?"
"... effervescent hook driven indie-rock - short sharp jabs of guitar, swirls of drums, major chords, melodies obscured by the flurry but most definitely in there. The first three songs are out of the speakers and tattooed on my brain before I even know what is happening; then there’s a melodic fizz of guitars knitting me a skull cap of bliss. ‘... direct visceral rock with the directness of the Ramones with some Replacements scruffiness thrown in..."
