Dear Diary,
I just met Victorian Halls. They're from Chicago, and BOY OH BOY are they a slice of heaven. They kinda remind me of The Blood Brothers and Cursive... OoOOoOo and maybe even Portugal the Man... they're totally TOPS!!!
They're gunna play like a bagillion shows this year and i'm gunna be at all of them. i totally just bought a t-shirt and CD from their online store so now i gotta slow down a little on the fast food. I can barely see my ribs.
sincerely,
Penny
REVIEWS
"I am interested in this kinda thing. Like the piano with the screaming combo...keep playing up the theatrical style, I find that the most fun. Hoorahh!"
- Tim Kasher, Cursive and The Good Life
"I like the twisted carnivalesque quality to the songs. Chaotic yet controlled; the piano is a nice touch amid all the craziness"
- Doug Brod, Editor of Spin Magazine
"High strung theatrical sound, vocals that surely have range, moments when we can all join in and sing, punchy and tight, (like) the sounds of Saturday night.
- Perry Farrell, Godfather of Lollapalooza and Jane's Addiction
"Victorian Halls tunes jerk, whirl, rip, roar, and squeal their way into your subconsciousness...outlandishly complex and unpredictable...Our guess is that over the course of the next few months you will be seeing and hearing a whole goddamn lot about this peculiar new band."
-Babysue
"[A band that] verge on the side of brilliance."
- Punktastic
"Raging, dramatic post-punk"
- Plug In Magazine
"Victorian Halls is a band that has a lot going for them"
- Rockfreaks
"A lot of screech [and] a fair amount of rhythmic brilliance... Victorian Halls brings the noise with exceptional style."
- Aiding & Abetting
"An exciting burst of crazed energy... herky-jerky outbursts of emotional excitement [with] guitar frenzied wailing and grating. If you bought Chiodo’s newest release Bone Palace Ballet and was disappointed, then trade it in for a copy of Victorian Halls’ Springteen."
- FakeTrain
