   About Main Drag
"Powerful and sustained..."
-PASTE Magazine


"The attention to craft and the obvious time spent on production and decision-making is where the Main Drag excels: from the ascent from glitchy electronics to orchestral ballast in the aptly named 'Goodnight Technologist' to 'A Jagged Gorgeous Winter'’s stunning command of its tightly wrapped arrangements, everything happens for a reason. It helps that the songs are great, of course, and as abstract portraits of post-collegiate paranoia with hooks as sharp as diamonds, they’d stand just fine on their own. But rather than pile a few blocks -- or daisy-chain a few guitar pedals -- the band has built a monument."
READ REVIEW
-CokeMachine Glow


“Eschewing the conservative approach of their first album, the Main Drag returns with an album that takes substantial risks for an impressive payoff ... On 'Goodnight Technologist', atop glitch-rock noises and a wall of strings, Arrigo intones: 'These faded lines they’re a perfect fit / by the time it’s goodnight we’ll be over it.' There, he captures the tragedy of our fast-paced technologically-dependent society: that it never has time to stop and admire everything it has created. And yet, listening to Yours As Fast As Mine, one gets the impression that he has in fact managed to do just that. "
-Popmatters.com - READ REVIEW


"With this sophomore release, The Main Drag has risen significantly in the realm of indie pop music. As texturally charismatic as any album this year, Yours As Fast As Mine provides eclectic moments of self reflection, anthemic bursts of valor, and a pleasing ebb and flow of pop melodies woven throughout.
-Death + Taxes Magazine

“[The Main Drag’s] charming indie pop covers more territory than a vintage map of the Louisiana Purchase. From swirling folk-pop melodies to glitchy electronica, The Main Drag can do it all. More importantly though, they can do it all very very well. The confluence of different sounds on Yours As Fast As Mine and just how seamless and natural it sounds is pure musical genius, the workings of Pro Tools masters, or (perhaps) both.”
-Can You See The Sunset From The South Side?


"Love the piston-like drums and chorus-singalong vocals, plus the horns! So very good -- makes me want to party!”
-Music For Robots

"RAMDOVE - No pigeon, no law, no war can stop him." Hah I got a kick out of that! They did an amazing job with your song, it's one of the strangest yet awesome videos I've ever seen, easily a masterpiece.

And I just realized that not only Yours As Fast As Mine, but ALSO your latest album are coming to the Rock Band Network. I'm overwhelmed! Hope I don't sound too weird with my enthusiasm, I'm just a major fan, you're my favorite band and a really big inspiration to me for when I begin my music project.

You guys are amazing. Keep in touch! :)

Hey, I haven't seen you guys in a while. You should come out on September 3rd for the Tigercity show at Great Scott. Lifestyle is doing their CD release that night; Mystery Roar and Emeen Z are also on the bill. This should be one of the funnest shows of the summer.
I hope you guys are doing great...Listening to Jagged Gorgeous Winter as I write.
