Sounds Like"At the Gates picks up right where their debut on Dusty Medical left off, with short catchy tunes, amazingly clean guitars, and a sound which is the missing link between Big Star and The Replacements, 30 years after it should conceivably have existed"

"catchy, sub-3-minute power-pop songs with Byrds-esque harmonies and chiming guitar fills reminiscient of Big Star’s finest post-Chris Bell days"

"hyperactive garage pop"

"jukebox-ready tunes that are mercilessly concise, relentlessly uptempo, and saturated in ooh-ahh vocal harmonies."

   About the midwest beat
Stuck in the tuneful 1960s, Madison's The Midwest Beat play with jukebox-ready tunes that are mercilessly concise, relentlessly uptempo, and saturated in ooh-ahh vocal harmonies. If anything, the average Midwest Beat song is overstuffed—a smidge too fast, too eager to please, too damn infectious. They could clearly play this stuff forever, yet “Belladonna,” their recent split cassette single with fellow travelers Cave Weddings, is a ramshackle acoustic number that suggests they may already be headed towards their Between The Buttons era. Still, most of their tracks, like the rollicking call-and-response rave-up “Need You Badly,” could be smuggled onto an old Pebbles comp without causing any crate-diggers to bat an anachronistic eye. If anything, they’d probably turn it up.
