With pop shimmers and atmospheric grit, big stacks and quiet folk mementoes, Detroit's The Fluoride Program nomadically moves through an astonishing breadth of musical terrain. Roadside Flowers (their first full-length) is the sound of blinking midnight lights, love, and schizophrenia. It's of reminders, penitence, and the alley-funked after-party. Both wide-eyed and jet-lagged, this is somehow mania and home. No lies.
"[The Fluoride Program] whispers and screams with a bright tunefulness
and a sense of dynamic that is in rare supply in most of their post-rock
contemporaries."
(4-star rating for Roadside Flowers)
–Zac Johnson, All Music Guide
"A serious, and seriously committed, force on the local rock
scene...[Roadside Flowers] swerves from sing-songy pop on songs like 'Designs'
to the grand rock of 'Cowards'...the Fluoride Program – while packing
plenty of muscle – is definitely more interested in texture and feel than
it is in pure volume. The band's songs are moody and atmospheric, while their
lyrics tend toward implications more than statements."
–Will Stewart, Ann Arbor News
"...dynamic bursts of skillfully executed soul and rock."
–Columbus Dispatch
"An unusual mix of syrupy pop and atmospheric rock that seems to come more
from the attic than the garage."
–Herald-Argus (LaPorte, IN)
"On the new album, Roadside Flowers, [The Fluoride Program] have shed their
past guitar-heavy grit for poppier sunsets. The album is packed with hooky
pop...Think the underground trappings of Sloan or The Velvet Crush."
–Anne Erickson, Lansing State Journal
"The juiciness of their guitar is
raw and awakening, and their sound is progressive and refreshing."
