Sounds LikeHere’s what people are saying:

Jim DeRogatis, Chicago Sun-Times
"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.

AbsolutePunk
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.

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

Chicago Sun-Times
There’s no doubt the Sapiens have carved out their own place in the local music scene.

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.

INK19
This is an assult on the eardrums that harkens back to the 70’s punk scene. Unadulterated in-your-face f— it-all punk rock.

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.

“Heart Attack” was just played on Q101’s Local 101 show Sunday 6/22.
Bret Bassi with Chicago MOB Fest was on the show and gave The Redfords a GREAT introduction; you have to hear it to believe it! You can hear the whole thing for yourself on Q101’s My Space page at www. myspace. com/local101.
Look under “The Show” section and it is the one called “Local 101 06-22-08 part 1”. The Redfords are the 4th song so you don’t have to listen long.

peace,

rfk  11/20/1925 - 6/6/1968


"few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation...it is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strakes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current wich can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."

robert kennedy,
day of affirmation speech at university of cape town in june 6, 1966


Robert F. Kennedy was a man of passionate conviction, carrying a message of change, and for the forlorn and dispossessed of America, a message of hope. <br />-Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr.
