  1. Importantly, while The Stands’ obvious musical loves cannot be faulted, it’s their own inimitable style that makes them more than just another retro outfit.

    Sure, singer Howie Payne's creaky emoting... sounds like flower-child muck, but his lilting melodies will charm your hippie-lovin' pants off anyway. [28 Jan 2005, p.83]
  3. Familiarity can be a good thing, but The Stands get plain fresh, crossing the line between feeling safe and feeling violated.
