Here’s what they say:

“I caught Free Willy fave Steel Phantoms at Spike Hill for the Ear Farm showcase. And? I absolutely love the energy of these guys. Classically trained musicians, their punky pop tunes sound at times a little like Vampire Weekend got married to Joy Division and had a baby where the drummer could sing.” –FreeWilliamsburg

“Steel Phantoms puts distilled instrumentation back into the crux of songwriting, so that, to the naked ear, you’d swear their album came from a shelf with Buzzcocks and XTC vinyls. If it goes their way, this could be the group that breaks our bloated diet of fatty, fuzzed-out filler.” –Death and Taxes

“[Forer is] a tight collection of heady, delicately composed toe-tappers.” –BlackBookMag

“From the moment the band started to the final burning note, guitarist Jesse Newkirk IV performed as if it were the final moments before the apocalypse and all he wanted to do was play the fucking guitar. It was a thing of beauty.” –RiverFrontTimes
