What they're saying about Bitter One:



Blistering and melodic.The elements of power pop, blues, hard rock, and

Americana are still there, but woven seamlessly into the musical tapestry.

Bitter One is a well-honed, rollicking piece of good old-fashioned rock n'

roll that should make fans out of anybody with an appreciation for smart

lyrics, fun rock and excellent musicianship.

The Wide Awakes are the best kind of rock band: simple, tight, and smart.

"Bitter One" has echoes of jam-band intensity with a straightforward and

agressive focus on concise, pop-based songs. Think moe crossed with the

Replacements. Lead vocalist and songwriter Tim Bueter is a crafty composer

and the band stays effectively in pocket on every cut. Good stuff from a

Toledo band that plays with fiery energy.

"Bitter One" is filled with the kind of raucous, fuzzed-out guitar pop

that'll make it seem like the heartbreak summer of your senior year no

matter how cold it gets outside.
