Feb 15, 2019Even on these quieter moments, Brickbat's invigorated feel is palpable--and contagious. It would've been easy for the members of Piroshka to rest on their laurels, but they prove they have a lot of new ideas to offer their listeners, regardless of how familiar they may be with the band's previous work.

Feb 20, 2019This is a gem of an album - you won't want to skip one track. A band far greater than the sum of its four parts. Recommended
