FORT LEAN
"The four songs on the band's near-perfect self-titled EP owe endless debts to the Kinks, Blur and the Vaselines...In a year when weird subgenres like chillwave and seapunk emerged from the bowels of the indie music scene, captivating sweaty music critics and cred-starved listeners alike, it's a relief to know that a straightforward outfit like Fort Lean can blow everything else away. This Brooklyn five-piece stands head and shoulders above the whimsy that suffused 2011...As one of the darlings of this year's CMJ Marathon, Fort Lean is still on the quivering fringe of something hugeAs one of the darlings of this year's CMJ Marathon, Fort Lean is still on the quivering fringe of something huge."

WORRIER
“You get a little bit of everything in it, from dance beats to erratic drum changes coupled with beautiful guitar parts. It feels like Worrier wasn’t holding back when they decided to make their first album, and neither should they have. There’s never a dull or empty moment, even in parts where there’s only kooky noises blaring. “I Am the River” keeps your interest at every second, with different voices coming from all directions and come great guitar riffs blasting you into another realm of music. It makes it hard to peg a genre for the album to go under. It’s everything from electronic to straight-up rock and roll and everything in between. If awesome was a genre, it would definitely be under there.”- HEAVEmedia.com
