May 18, 2016Pile arrives comparatively light on melodrama, brimming with live fast/die young missives instead, anthems of restless spirits who drink love and life from the same red plastic cup.
-
May 18, 2016Beneath all of this nihilism is some real skilled songwriting that includes complex rhyme schemes, swaggering rhythms, and stunning harmonies.
-
May 23, 2016Pile might celebrate the moodier, grittier side of rock music, but it does so with enough of an ear for a good hook to make you want to embrace the weird.

-
May 18, 2016A Giant Dog aren't necessarily offering anything that hasn't been done before, but Pile is definitely a fun listen with enough bright spots and kinetic energy to sustain it.
