Musicians Exchange

"English sounding pop. Strong male vocals over well-crafted songs and instrumental tracks. Fine production. Demo package. Three songs." --Anonymous

The Music Paper

The songs on this ribbon have great lyrics and melodies, and the playing is just fine. If I was a record label, I'd sign this bunch. this is smart stuff and it rocks ever so nicely. The Lackadays' music brings to mind Costello or Toad theWet sprocket, but it doesn't really sound like them. The arrangements are very musical and, all in all, this is top-notch. Hey guys, how about another seven songs? --Francis Bell

Musicians Exchange

Using the tools of strong melody, heartwarming harmonies and accessible yet intelligent lyrics, The Lackadays have built a thoroughly endearing, continuously interesting pop album. As the title suggests, there is something for every one of us to relate to here. by keeping things open and honest, both lyrically and musically, The lackadays have provided an inviting doorway that's impossible not to venture through. Once inside, you'll find yourself following the beckoning finger of a guitar line, a melodic twist, a lyrical turn, and while everything is fresh, it's also comfortable. "Tonight," "Nothing But Time" and "Kick the Pail" were my favorites. --Jennifer Shields

Sound Views

Hey, kids - here's a pleasant surprise, especially if you ache from the void left by the passing of the Replacements and the Smithereens. It's a quartet - young men with guitars, 'natch - who arent 'alternative' and who actually seem to care. Listen to "Peach," with the harmony vocals, fluid lead guitar, and plucky mandolin braced by a straight-ahead garage-rock beat, and you'll know you've found a band that feels something other than contempt for the world, and its audience. Some songs feature the occasional ear-noogie - a purposefully discordant guitar line, for instance - and the track "I Could Love You" is a simple toss-off; but The Lackadays never resort to tiresome, bullshit non-playing like closing a song with a twenty-second feedback drone. This is as honest and pure as it gets. if you don't like this, you better sit yourself down and figure out what you do like. --Mark Keating
