   About Zest of Yore
The Zest of Yore are currently working on a full length release tentatively titled "Quality of Life". Look for it sometime in 08! Until then check out www.zestofyore.com for band history.

If you want to know about our music, here are some reviews of our EP released in December 2003:

Smart, sophisticated songwriting, clever lyrical content, and hooks that go on for days. The Fold
The sweet-voiced Texans make masterful guitar pop here; short and to-the-point tunes undulate with hooks, wit and heart. High Bias
Mid-paced major-chord guitar jangle gleaned from the likes of The Beatles, The Posies, Big Star, Guided By Voices ... There's some neat, Grandaddy-like structural trickiness on the likes of "A Cultivated Sensibility" or "I'll Do The Thinking." Splendid
The group is really great at writing a tuneful track. Just the kind I like, weird enough to rise above standard pop on the radio, but accessible enough in chord structure to please a wider palette of fans. Shmat Reviews
A too-brief ass-kick of atmospheric pop and indie-rock. Sometimes they remind me of GBV, sometimes Grandaddy, but mostly they own their own sound. Expect great things from this baby band. Mundane Sounds
A fun EP with the consistency and conviction to appeal to a wider audience outside of the typical Texas teenagers looking for a soundtrack to wash their Ford pick up trucks to. Lost At Sea

Projecting your manhood(s?) onto the future sounds like something done alone with a blanket and a flashlight. However, I'm sure since it's musical it's much cooler than that.
