"The antecedents of Textbook stem from a chap by the name of Dave Lysien, former vocalist and commandeer of Chicago's smartest pop-punk of the '90s Not Rebecca, whom Textbook in no small part bear an uncanny resemblance. Across 11 cuts, Textbook brandish the dexterous aplomb of Hey Mercedes, Ted Leo, and even The Replacements, minus the "it" band quotient. A hipster's wet dream they're not but aficionados of ringing, indie-guitar rock, fleshed out with a touch of rootsy abandon, will surely appreciate the fact that Textbook are sincerely in it for the tunes." (Neal Agnete - The Big Takeover 57)
Great show last Friday at Damaged! It was worth sitting through the punishing southwest suburban metalcore to get to hear you guys play live. Thanks for coming out this way.
Good work on the Friday the 13th gig! Flyer's a beaut. Chris, Ben and I have already decided to stay in and watch parts IV and VI after I return from work at stupid o'clock....
Boys....Lovely lovely stuff! New songs are damn fine.
So time is closing in, if we can battle through your bad weather we will be there a week Thursday, woo hoo! Looking forward to it! Tell Mark to get that Wednesday dogshit well hidden away....his fickle football support will be waning toward Sunderland after the staggo with Mich and Russell's influence.
Hey fellas, not long now ... can't wait to get across there. We've been putting Matt through his paces (singing and drinking!)... Those new tracks on your profile sound top notch too!! Lovely stuff
Dear. Sweet. Lord! Those new songs sound amazing! Did you do them with Agnello again? To say that we're looking forward to the album with baited breath is something of a huge understatement. Is it true you're coming back over in the summer?
