Press
"If a group of musicians had been snatched from the planet in 1970, this is the postcard they would have sent from their travels around the galaxy — a mix of sounds both familiar and foreign." - Paste Magazine, Band of the Week

"Beautifully crafted retro pop.” – Q Magazine (4/5 stars)

"Tacks, The Boy Disaster makes dreamy art-pop with gentle rhythms, lush production and sweetly hypnotic harmonies. The Austin quartet's debut EP, Oh, Beatrice, is a warm, blissful head-trip scored by jangly pianos, swirling guitars and ambient sound effects..." - NPR, Open Mic

"…with Oh, Beatrice, Tacks, the Boy Disaster has recorded one of the strongest local debuts in recent memory, the rare work genuinely deserving of being called beautiful. In short, it's unforgettable." – The Daily Texan

Lush, shoegaze tinged melodies peer through buoyant pop, creating a sound encompassing a bevy of influences from folk to country, rock to ethereality. Pop music for intelligent folk this is...” – Clash Magazine

"Tacks had the formula down: killer hooks, ear-teasing lyrics; and the crowd was doing something that rarely occurs at shows anymore – dancing."Austin Chronicle

Anything but a disaster, this well-crafted, tambourine clashing, orchestral EP with its catchy hooks and electro-lite beats will make you tap your feet and sway in your seat.” – CMJ

Broken dreams and sorrow.

Fragile hearts let down.

Tears fall like the rain.

Smiles turn into frowns.

Love is unpredictable.

Life can be so sad.

Words come dime a dozen.

Realize that you've been had.

Trust should not be given.

It truly must be earned.

Trials and tribulations.

Lessons we all will learn.

Do not live in yesterday.

Think on days to come.

Happiness is around the bend.

Don't let life make you numb.



Twisted Fate the poet
