Here's what some press people have to say:
"By now, there's something unmistakable about the sound of Tangerine -- the way the singer's brooding baritone reinforces the gravity of tracks that in a lot of ways suggest a cross between The Church and early R.E.M."
- Post-Gazette
"Comparisons to Pink Floyd and the Church are valid, yet only begin to describe this talented band's guitar-oriented, melodic sound"
- Tribune-Review
"...the deepest voice this side of the Tindersticks."
- The Sentimentalist Magazine
"Blending lush dream pop (The Church) with sensitive balladry (Paul Westerberg), the Pittsburgh foursome triumph with their self-released six-song CD, creating addictive, moody landscapes underneath singer Tony Matz's gravely, emotive vocals."
- Pork Tartare

A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store, but couldn't find one big enough for her family. She asked the stock boy, 'Do these turkeys get any bigger?'
To be honest, I was looking for a picture of a Tangerine and found you and didnt think much of it but when I got to your website and heard your music I was taken back. I Like it! Keep up the good work! =)
