It’s a little surprising that Object is made up of a pair of young New Yorkers, not refugees from a moderately popular mid-’90s grunge band. The Brooklyn drum-and-guitar act certainly squeezes enough bombast out of its two-pronged lineup to sound like it would fit perfectly at the moment when alt-rock became synonymous with Top 40. Singer-guitarist Eric Kramer’s rasp sometimes recalls Kurt Cobain, and other times it dips down into a throaty, dramatic Chris Cornell intonation, updating the sounds of “Black Hole Sun” for a world waiting to see if the Large Hadron Collider will create one. But on its debut full-length,Black Swan, Object adds enough tweaks to the formula to remind you that: 1) it’s the 21st century; and 2) Pearl Jam will never die.

Local duo Object wears its mid-90’s influences on its sleeve,offering crunchy yet soulful alt rock

-TimeOut NY

Object mixes aggressive guitar riffs and powerful, beautifully executed vocal melodies with a chick who plays drums like an octopus (yes that’s a good thing)

-VERBICIDE

[Object] make more noise than two musicians should ever be expected to make. Channeling the sounds of the 90’s, the band pile on the grunge-induced rock with deeply personal first person lyrics carried by the strong vocals of singer/guitarist Eric.

-THE DELI

[Object’s] music warrants way more attention than it's been receiving. They are a band that's been fighting the good fight in this scene for years, never failing to rip and rage on stage. They've got a new album chomping at the bit, so here's to hoping that people start recognizing.”

I was instantly blown away by this release from Object. "The Mirror World" has the sound of my teen years. Surely grabbing influence from the "grunge" scene of the early 90s and doing it just right enough to keep their originality intact and create a sound they can call their own. For having only two instruments (Eric sings and strums, Maria drums) the music sounds bigger than it is. The vocals are pushed to the edge as chaos slowly ensues in the background and it all pays off with one grand finale at the end of each track making for a great listen.

NYC tandem Object may get the obvious comparisons to White Stripes, but aside from the one guy singing and strumming and one girl bashing the kit, this dynamic duo's five-track disc emits a lot more than the obligatory. Demonstrating Jeff Buckley's soul, Kurt Cobain's scream, and Billy Corgan's twisted melodies, tracks like "Fooled" and "Walk Away" have got the '90s alt-rock rage tightly packaged and compressed into memorable nuggets that pop into your head at the most random times. The sleigh-bell effect and fancy fretwork that open up "Open Sores" help this track ring out the loudest. Object has done the most with the least on THE MIRROR WORLD, making a compelling release along the way that rockingly resonates with the ghosts of rock radio's not-so-distant past. www.objectband.com -Mike SOS

Objects energy, especially live, is a most consuming event

Object is a band with potential in a unique way: should there ever be a band to remake Nirvanas Bleach album and bring on a grunge revival, Object would be the one- they have that retro, grunge rock sound down pat. Thankfully, theyve gone above and beyond the traditional grunge sound, placing themselves in a unique niche of the genre.

Duos have never been as noisy as in this millennium. Before then, the word "duo" used to make you think of Simon and Garfunkel or the Everly Brothers...I guess everything started with The White Stripes. Afterall, when you have a drumkit and a super distorted electric guitar with the amp's volume set at 11, what else do you need to make some good old noise? This Object is a very noisy one and drummer Maria perhaps might be one of the wildest in NYC right now.
