The group is a favorite amongst local concert-goers, but be sure to catch the band while it’s still within arm’s reach: With the release of its second album, "The Rind," in summer 2008, it looks like the Sapiens may outgrow this city fairly soon. Full article

Rind follows the band’s 2007 EP, Vs. The Hornet, and shows that the band is continually surprising audiences as they just get better and better at making songs from chunks of synth-rock spreads and pop punk shakers. Full article

"Chicago's Next Big Bands"
Quite possibly the most stylish band in town right now, with the spiffiest suits since the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, these five musicians have been pinging on my radar for some time: They play with the punk ferocity of overly caffeinated teens while writing songs with the sassy sophistication of Elvis Costello or Ray Davies.

Indie Here
Rind is personally one of my favorite songs this week not only because it adds a nice level of adrenaline into my blood, but also because the song brings back a nostalgia of old school indie rock. Full article

Chicago’s rock quintet The Sapiens' second EP entitled Vs. the Hornet shows the band’s chops for arousing ‘70s post-punk brashness and kinetics reminiscent of vintage Elvis Costello, but with modern rock shavings reflective of Baby Teeth, Hot Hot Heat, and Bloc Party. Full article
Real Detroit
Above all else, The Sapiens sound is energy, fall outta your chair, break the door down, kick the window, jerk the wheel fierce, punching energy — a rough-hewn pop style, a catchy sort of chaos. Full article

There's no doubt the Sapiens have carved out their own place in the local music scene. Full article
What to Wear During an Orange Alert
There are a few bands in this city who still hold dear the sounds that made Chicago the place to be. These bands, like The Sapiens, acknowledge their roots, but move forward in style and sound. Full article

Cashbox Magazine:
The Sapiens go after rock and roll with a different approach then the competition. With Vs The Hornet, The Sapiens have captured the energy of a live show and retained the intricacies of a produced product. The Sapiens songs are hectic, yet tightly woven. "Void" seems the likely product of a group of young men that not only understand the music of the Rolling Stones, but the energy of the soul music that made Brian, Mick and Keith get started in the first place. What makes The Sapiens such an interesting listen is that the music is very now and very forward thinking yet its appeal has a broader range than most contemporary alternative bands of today. The track "Desperate Measures" takes The Sapiens out of their fast paced comfort zone and lets them shine as they take hold of a mid-tempo piece and exhibit levels of musical maturity not heard in most young bands.
