sensibility and soften the mood slightly." Heathen Angel

If People of Santiago sounded like all of these combined, they would inevitably sound terrible.
They are not inspired by Eric Clapton, Dire Straits, Joe Satriani, Guns N Roses. Anyone like that.
After listening to People of Santiago, go hunt out the bands and stuff above. You’ll have a great time. We cannot, however, be responsible for any Clapton-related mishaps or misadventures.

Either follow the links above or search "Ever Since The Lake Caught Fire" on iTunes.
"Produced by ¡Forward, Russia!'s Tom Woodhead, debut single A Fire Born In Dallas (released on the Pay For The Piano imprint) finds post-hardcore and prog influences welded together to create a sound that is both vulnerable and self-assured. Admittedly, the usual influences of Fugazi and At The Drive-In are worn pretty obviously, but the band are far more than mere copyists.
Indeed, at their single launch they offered an intense and impassioned performance, with snare cracks and upstrokes reverberating around the venue.
Ever Since The Lake Caught Fire, it would seem, have more than enough firepower in their sonic arsenal to kick some of the music world's feted young pretenders into touch. " The Metro
