"New Atlantic Youth bring you back to a time before "emo" became a (rightfully) dirty word. Their bombastic Fugazi-inspired approach to songcraft has bassist Dan Fogarty and drummer Jesse Katz catapulting each song, with frontman Ian Elkind doing his best Issac-Brock-in-space-guitar. Staying on one rhythm or tempo for precious few measures before flying to another; it's amazing that there's nothing jarring about it-- These are songs you will know by heart, after hearing them once. New Atlantic Youth may write sing-a-long anthems, but they're delivered with an intensity ferocious enough for crowds more concerned with moshing than the nuances of Elkind's diverse vocalizations. Equal parts At The Drive In, Jawbox, and Sunny Day Real Estate, New Atlantic Youth are a power-trio in the absolute best way; pushing a noisy envelope, but never at the expense of a truly gratify pop hook. The only downside is that after listening to their "NAY" and "Gowanus" EPs, you'll be wishing there were more bands out today that sounded like New Atlantic Youth."-John-Severin (John-Severin & The Quiet 1s, The Brooklyn What)
