Southern Backtones

"Southern Backtones is not Southern rock. It is a sea of expansive, dark rock with the unmistakable, vampy touch of David Bowie and the indigo mood of Echo & the Bunnymen." - Houston Chronicle "The only way this could get any beautifully darker is if it grew black wings and flew away." - Ft. Worth Weekly "Alt-rock guitars, darkly poetic lyrics and a vocal style reminiscent of the mid-90s Britpop movement.the musicianship and songwriting on this effort are top notch. Highly recommended." - Exclaim! Canada's Music Authority "Smacks of mass appeal!" - Houston Press "If U2 came from Texas and were weaned on The Cult's big-guitar panoramas they would be called the Southern Backtones and they would rock." - Download.com "A must see of local music." - Daily Cougar "Rich sounding well crafted rockers." - ASCAP.com "The Southern Backtones have songs that the Killers and Strokes would kill for." - MetalUK.com "Best local release in Houston in 2006." - David Cobb, donewaiting.com "Excellent CD! Highest recommendation." - The Scene Magazine
