    "Lamplights & the Long Walk" video by Skratch Films .. .. .. .. .. "Snow Globe" video by Skratch Films .. .. .. .. .. ..* "Tea For Julie's debut is one of the strongest self-released debuts I've ever heard. While showing many influences along the way, each track is distinctive and with its own voice. I highly recommended this band both recorded and live. Expect great things from Tea For Julie" .. ..-John Richards The Morning Show KEXP 90.3 Seattle / Young & The Restless The END 107.7 Seattle.. .... .."Its hard to fathom that Tea For Julie are a relatively new band, Division being their first full length album self-released, no less. The depth of talent showcased on Division is truly spectacular; the songs are highly refined, intricate, and polished with a heavy dollop of panache. It is a brazen, if welcomed, move to incorporate such big sounds on a debut. Tea For Julie is a confident force. Theyve garnered quite a bit of attention on KEXP of late, and for good reason. Division is a stunning first effort, sure to be at the top of many local-release best of 2005 lists and perhaps atop a few national lists as well." .. ..-Stella - Three Imaginary Girls (www.threeimaginarygirls.com).. .... .. Tea For Julie Post-punk lingers and indie rock explodes in this dynamic live session from Portland band Tea for Julie. Pop-smart hooks and melancholy lyrics bring well-timed hits of bass and humor as Tea for Julie rework the classic indie-pop form with a freshness only found in sincerity... ..-M. Myers - KEXP 90.3 Seattle.. .... .. Tea For Julie swells with luscious pop-rock nectars; their vocal melodies recall both the lilting melancholy of The Smiths and the refined angst of early '90s Radiohead, submerged in buzzing guitar hooks and buoyant drumming. The result is a consistent but adaptable sound that soars from graceful sonic craftsmanship to the heights of explosive, driving rock. .. ..-Evan James - Portland Mercury..

Tea For Julie Post-punk lingers and indie rock explodes in this dynamic live session from Portland band Tea for Julie. Pop-smart hooks and melancholy lyrics bring well-timed hits of bass and humor as Tea for Julie rework the classic indie-pop form with a freshness only found in sincerity.
