"Swallowed A Pill" on KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic 11/8/07:



Sundance Channel's "Discovered":



"This band immediately stood out to me.I was a fan from the first song. They put on one of the best live performances we've had on Morning Becomes Eclectic this year." --Nic Harcourt



"S&S very much yank their tunes from the topsoil of Walt Whitman's dreams, with Moltz's earthy, elegiac vocals bolstered by his bandmates' three-part harmony. A caravan of American roots music." --The Village Voice



"A simply tansporting sund that will have you pining for the past" --Gothamist.com



"Passionate, intelligent, and occasionally explosive rock that felt like an unholy mix of '60's garage punk as played by a group that wrote their dissertation on Tolstoy while listening to 'Music from Big Pink'." --ADeeperShadeOfSoul.com



"Lots of hand clapping, foot stomping, piano tinkling, lovely full-throated boy-girl vocal harmonies and even some face-melting axework from lead singer/guitarist D.S. Moltz. But the extra ingredient is love." --SongByToad.com



"They are the scene's first honky tonk indie band. Call them indie tonk, if you will. S & S is a rip rowing, throw your hat into the air type of band. They're like The Doors or early Zepplin if they were a Alt-Country band." --MusicSnobbery.com



"They send out their CD in a hand-typed envelope, with a hand-made case, sealed up with sealing wax, and a quirky little booklet which reminds me of a John Phillip Sousa era imprint.it’s sort of like Walt Whitman meets the Grateful Dead" --Downstreamer.com



"Everything they played seemed to be coming from a familiar place, yet was fresh and new at the same time. It was like watching Dr. Dog cover the Allman Brothers or Bob Dylan’s cousin deciding the alt-country scenes wasn’t psychedelic enough." --UsedToBeCool.com



The guitar work… the harmonizing… damn. So yeah, I highly recommend checking them out.



Purchase a very fine handmade shirt from the band.
