“This is instantly familiar classic pop that you've never heard before … word is slowly spreading about what great songs this band has. Apparently, music is really and truly the main focus of these folks' efforts. This, their first full-length album, is embarrassingly honest and genuine. So much so that this band puts many other New York bands to shame…There are no musical gimmicks or labels involved here because there is no need for them. For our own personal tastes, bands just don't get much better than this. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED” Rating 6 (out of six) -- Babysue/LMNOP.com
"Their self-titled debut is a solid slab of rock that begs comparisons to other no-frills acts like the Replacements, Buffalo Tom, and even Sloan and the Shins." -- popmatters.com
Unjustly overlooked thus far, this indie four-piece bangs out a good line in ‘hardfolk’ and, on the strength of this record, deserve to be snapped up by a decent label. Reviving the lost art of melody with jangly guitars and ‘proper’ choruses, they manage to sound accessible without ever getting sugary or predictable...The name ‘The Waylons’ suggests country but this is about as country as The Replacements; i.e., not at all... In the fine tradition of bands as far back as The Kinks to more modern outfits like Buffalo Tom, The Waylons give the (sometimes unfashionable) three minute pop song the credibility it seems to have lost over the years. The next album will be on a major label. Guaranteed. Americana UK
