We wear our hearts on our sleeves. Here's what the local Minneapolis press have had to say.
"The group is made up of former members of Twin Cities stalwarts Faux Jean and Idle Hands, and they play stripped down guitar- and piano-driven rock. ..with Ben Sommers-Bachman singing lead and sounding quite a bit like Spoon’s Britt Daniel and Michael Paul Lopez’s skilled guitar jamming, with licks that would sound right at home on a Led Zeppelin record." (Jon Behm/Culturebully.com).
"Local quintet Nightinghales take a page from the great English mods and folk-rockers of the 60's especially the Kinks. Nightinghales have learned their lessons well, with lots of deliciously strummy, breezy pop highlighted by frontman Ben Sommers-Bachman's arresting falsetto."(The Onion A.V Club).
"The band is notably tight, well-rehearsed and versatile. Nightinghales brings on good times and an authentic Brit Rock experience...re-casting some of the best sounds of the '70s and '80s into original rock in a contemporary and fashionable package." (David De Young, Howwastheshow.com).
