CD Release THIS WEEK, Tues, July 19. We’re featured on iTunes, AOL/Spinner Listening Party and in Billboard’s Good Works column. See Press tab above for more.

AOL/Spinner Listening Party
“With the help of 120 kids from five schools across five states, this Philadelphia rock group has constructed a timeless tribute to youth and story telling.”

The Huffington Post
“…songs profound in the simplicity of their wisdom. ‘What Will Power it All’ plays like an anthem of sorts. It calls out. These are our modern day Songs of Innocence and Experience. William Blake would be proud.”

The New York Times
“After the [recording] session, 9-year old Mariah Serrano told her mother that Wednesday had been “the best day ever.” Composing lyrics from the thoughts of children brings a sense of immediacy to the music.”

The Deli, NYC
“There’s something beautiful about The Great Unknown. It’s not only because of the stark and bewitching alt-country they weave, or the yearning intones and the seizing rhythms. It’s also because of their collaboration with … the ASCAP Songwriter Residency at America SCORES … the result of that is the brilliant and heartwarming 5-track EP, Other Voices, Other Rooms.”
