Sounds Like
"...[R]ollicking American folk-pop, landing at some hook-heavy intersection of the Band and Fleet Foxes. Try as you might, I don’t think you’re going to be able to hear songs like 'Celebrate' or 'A Little Rain' without remembering at least part of the chorus... [Sundays] is lush, meticulous, and hooky as hell."
-Joshua Sharp, Aural Wes
"ARTIST FROM FUTURE FOLK RECORDS AND ONE OF A KIND WITH AN INCREDIBLE WAY OF TELLING THE TRUTH WITH A NICE MELODY AND YOU ARE GOING TO FALL IN LOVE WITH THE MUSIC AT FIRST LISTEN!!"

Ok...please excuse the delay. I still don't know. I have been engulfed with a tsunami of work. Come to detroit and I'll show you boys a night of drunken debauchery that wont be soon forgotten.
And I will let you know on thursday exactly what day you should come to MI
that is soooo strange, because whenever i hear your music i think "mariah???? is that YOU??!!!?!" and then it gets totally drowned out by the katy perry influences, and i just zone out blissfully, as i sit and listen to "NOW that's what I call music, volume sewing machines."
