   About Mod Amish






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."


-THE RIPPLE EFFECT review of "No Use For Sunshine"


"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?"


-AMERICANA UK review of "No Use For Sunshine"


"... 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..."


-SAN DIEGO PUNK Review of "No Use For Sunshine"


"... a nice break from the dance beat filled pop punk that floods the scene today. I thoroughly enjoyed the album."


-CD BABY.COM chose "No Use For Sunshine" as an Editor's Pick in November 2008.


-UCLA radio chose "September" to be on their "Best Unsigned Artists of 2008" compitaltion CD on January 11, 2009.


-CONVERSE SHOES/DOWNTOWN RECORDS awarded "September" First Place from over 4000 entries in their "Get Out Of The Garage" Contest in December 2008.
