  1. The New Sidewalk isn’t their great album, but it’s undoubtedly a stepping stone on the way there.

    While this may not be the straight-up punk that fans of 2012’s ‘Two Year Plan’ know and love, Such Gold are showing a thirst for progression, and that’s not something to be sniffed at.

    This progressive spin on the classic EpiFat sound yields original, enjoyable results. [Dec 2014, p.105]

    While it would be inaccurate to apply the loaded designation maturing to this follow-up, the 12 songs here are more fully realized: the result of a band comfortable pushing against, while still embodying, the touchstones of its form.

    It's not as hard-hitting as their past material but still, it's worth a go.

    A creative step forward for Such Gold as they step back from the poppier accents of their 2012 debut, Misadventures, and embrace more complicated song structures and deeply personal lyrical themes.
