"catchy-as-heck pop layered with the musical complexity of distinguished rock...straight from the heart." - Emily Besen, The Muhlenberg Weekly
'The Take are a band that truly embraces a new sound. It's hard to break down exactly what they sound like and who influences them, but the one thing for sure is that if you are a fan of rock, this is a band you want to give a listen to..."' - The NJ Underground.com
"While the Rock and Roll of their fathers may have finally found its resting place, The Take isn’t letting that stop them from taking music in the next logical direction. Look no further than their independently released “Tectonic” EP; a seven-track display of versatility in melody, mood and musicality. They have found themselves in between genres but singer Joe Vivona sees that as, “nothing short of a compliment…[we are] making mainstream rock the way it should be; musical, catchy and real.”
The versatile vocals displayed by Vivona and the lead guitar riffs and solos by Nick LaFalce compliment each other brilliantly, while the songs themselves are fit to fill the arenas. The album starts with the strong and infectious “Of Course It Hurts”, and continues with a heavy-grooving “All Up to You”, complete with an Auto-tuned pre-chorus and a blazing guitar solo at the end. Throughout its entirety, the following tracks hit multiple genres blended into something new and unique. The disc ends with “Without Words”, a seven minute ballad-turned-epic that leaves all inclined to sing along.
“Tectonic” shows itself as an excellent résumé from start to finish, proving that they are capable of doing many great things in the years to come."
