   About the august

Initial reviews of the new album!

"Thistle, Sparrow and the Tall, Tall Grass ... a breezy brand of melodic country, reflects these naturalistic roots, with its collection of casually swinging tunes."
- The Chicago Tribune

"Listening to the August is like listening to old Johnny Cash tunes on modern radio: The sound is nostalgic-country complete with its own special twang, but it carries with it a folksy storytelling value that contemporary mainstream rock can't maintain, aside from that of maybe Sufjan Stevens or Andrew Bird. It could be just what Chicago needs -- or doesn't know it wants."
- The Daily Herald (Chicago)

"Chicago roots rock group The August plays folk-rock that porch rockers could groove to. An easy on the ear sound married to coasting melodies is just what the doctor ordered. It’s not everything you might expect out of a young group but it’s a whole lot that you might want."
- Smother Magazine

"A Midwest four-piece that loosely fits into an alt.country bag, the August mainly explore relationship issues on this impressive full-length album debut. Charlie Piper and the band produced the album, and it’s an often-beautiful collection of songs, with plenty of exquisite musicianship from the group and from guest players.......Heartfelt lyrics, soul-tinged vocals and solid instrumentation from a talented new band."
- Maverick Magazine (United Kingdom)

"While inherently uncomplicated, Chicago area’s The August fuses folk, country and a clean brand of roots rock. On "Thistle, Sparrow, and the Tall, Tall Grass," the band’s debut, a slide guitar rules the show, while the other instrumentation hovers pretty close to pop-country, and even the vocal harmonies, male and female, hits the Western notes....this is a pleasant affair, made with, if nothing else, a remarkable consistency so absent from most of these types of records."
- New City Chicago

"[An] unsigned country-rock band from Chicago...thier smart catchy confessionals will surely appeal to fans of the Band as much as Jack Johnson and Neko Case."
- CMJ

"The words "country alternative rock" scare me when used consecutively. When I first picked up this album and was told what I was getting myself into, I was nervous..I must say that I was pleasantly surprised when I gave this album a try. The music is well produced and makes a clear country crisp sound.Jacky Dustin, the lead singer, really uses her voice to put raw emotion into these songs...it is definitely worth a listen especially when you're breaking up or making up with your significant other."
- Chicago Flame

Thanks Jacky. That is a good pic. Well you don't have to stay for all 3 hours. You could show up and sing a few and then just walk right out the door like a bad ass. Think about it.
