Reviews

"Bacchanalian shaman / song-man Shawn Waters' vocal timbre and delivery certainly evoke memories of the late, great Thin Lizzy front-man, and so does his penchant for mayhem and disorder……Though Groupthink bash their way through ten tracks as if their sordid lives depended on it, Roz Raskin's sweet harmonies and vintage organ riffs afford the record passion aplenty. If sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll is your idea of a good time - look no further than Songs For You." -AMPLIFIER MAGAZINE



"The songs could be viewed as uplifting if you happen to be a manically depressed Vicodin addict. Equally so the songs could be viewed as dark and beautiful as you picture yourself dancing with that hot Goth chick that you've been searching for something to bond with over. Like a night filled with red wine and sultry dancing in the summer as one big chorus drops after another like shooting stars from the stage, Shawn Waters & Groupthink could be the next band to storm the scene." -MOTIFE MAGAZINE



"Overall: An incredibly original hodge-podge of genres. -PUCKNATION.COM



"Its very refreshing to hear music like this today… Very original sound and an invigorating taste to my eardrums." -MELODIC.NET



"Waters & co. are doing something wild here, a mash-up of Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, Kool Keith and (no lie) Fleetwood Mac style harmonies. And somehow, it all amounts to a wryly engaging fusion." -MUSIC CONNECTION MAGAZINE
