Power-pop songcrafters, rock-n-roll legends, our friends and our families.
Sounds Like
Catchy choruses of melodic hooks, carefully crafted verses, strategically symmetric arrangements, a pinch of purposeful variance, precise word choice, heart-felt sentiments, subtle overtones of irony, a reluctant form of wit and wisdom, a grounding tendency for self-deprecation, breathy-urgent vocals, persuasive-conversational vocals, hand-picked harmonies, anthemic exclamations of unison, robust over-driven guitar chords, clean jangle-pop guitar chords, momentary sprinkles of reverb/slap-back/chorus on guitar melodies and riffs that sit comfortably in the song, explosively tasteful percussion, a solid foundation of low-end...but it's kind of hard to put into words.

"Highlight, Delete" live on Wyandotte Public Access Cable, 2008:
"Utterly charming and eminently hummable." -The Big Takeover
"The Prime Ministers sound like 'want' feels. Only loud." -Metro Times
"If Nick Lowe is the Jesus of cool, then the Prime Ministers are his power-pop disciples, spreading the good word to anybody who will listen. This is pure pop for now people." -Detour
"Instantly hummable hooks and divinely catchy choruses." -Whatevs.org
"The Prime Ministers are to the Midwestern suburbs what Fountains Of Wayne are to those who live in the shadow of the skyscrapers of Manhattan -- a band whose richly expressive, hook-laden power pop songs explode when they hit the speakers and make you glad to live where you live." -Fluxblog
"Raucous power-pop, ill-kempt around the edges, with a juicy melodic middle. The group reveals its rich Anglophile tendencies, its way with a chorus and knack for hooks that would make Cheap Trick proud." -Detroit Free Press
"The hooks are heavy and addictive." -REAL Detroit Weekly
You did a great job last night at ROMT! You should be very proud! I had several friends who already e-mailed me saying they liked you so much they bought CDs. You brought it, with a great set of material and you came out playing like professionals. Makes me proud you're from Detroit!
