**Read a really cool Madison.com interview with Ben Kyle!**

4 Stars in Paste! Click on Kanye to read the review!

"YOU'LL WANT TO SAY YOU SAW THEM NOW" Village Voice, NYC

"For anyone worrying that the Americana genre has become a repository of the bad irony of hipsters and has-been quacks, fear not: Romantica is here to save the day. Singer/songwriter Ben Kyle is the latest in a long line of European exports to reinvigorate a genre by reclaiming it as his own—“God walks on the water, I walk through the rain,” he sings. With one foot still in his home country, and one taking a tentative step into the mess of promises and disappointments on the other side of the pond, Kyle and his bandmates dust off the brilliance at the heart of America. Most albums with such ambitious titles fall ?at in their attempt; Kyle—in songs and voice that sit comfortably between Jeff Tweedy and Ryan Adams—dwells comfortably in the long shadows cast by his forefathers while leaving his own undeniable stamp on the proceedings."
David Mead, PASTE Magazine

Alright you guys need to come out with a newer CD. I know every lyric to all your songs on both CDs. Im probably able to be your new lead singer!
CDs will not play anymore due to over play...how about some Garage band music, I bet you have some old cassette tape with someone singing to a little keyboard or something!
Tanner & Michelle Cason
