Album Notes

What people are saying about the Basals!

Good Times Magazine: "As always, (they) proved to be consummate musicians. Every move they make on stage exudes their readiness for stardom."
"...another jewel in the crown of Long Island music."
"If you're a music fan, you should buy it. If you are an A & R person, you should sign them. Period."

Musician Magazine: Named Top 10% in the Best Unsigned Band competition.

Discmakers: Named Top 10% in the Best Unsigned Band competition.

Newsday: "The Basals have a lot to offer for an unsigned band - an appealing combination to talent scouts seeking the next Garbage or No Doubt."

The Island Voice: "You'll love this band!"

Mixx Magazine: "The Basals command attention - a little punk, a little pop, a little grunge, a little sarcasm - once you catch your breath, you want more!"

The Music Paper: "Fine musicianship and clever arrangements are just two of the highlights here."
"...(the song) Time Bomb is definitely the ticket to a major label deal..."
"...band to look out for..."

Long Island Entertainment: "The Basals are a cross between some of the best female-fronted power pop/new wave bands of the early 80's and pure 90's adrenaline." "...a major label outfit momentarily going the grass roots road..."

The Music Connection: "...a sure bet for A & R."

Good Times Magazine: "Debut album so dynamic, so infectious, and so memorable - a grip on the human condition from the view of the young American mainstream - reminiscent ofthe post punk radio favs of the early 80's." "Strong songs, top shelf musicianship and a live show that should not be missed. Give The Basals your attention if you're into the cutting edge radio of our day."

The Island Ear - "(The Basals) understands the roots of the alternative scene better than most - inspired - musicianship first class."

More Sugar Entertainment - "The roguish, energetic voice of lead singer Holli has a retro sound that is reminiscent of Blondie and the B-52's - punky pop songs that are playful and unerring. Frolicsome melodies that pull you into the fascination of The Basals."

Rock Diva Magazine - "The Basals hold the crowd in the palm of their hands - a feast for Alternative Rock Lovers."

Fairly decent stuff. Since there's no description of their style or sound on this page yet, I'll offer up what I thought. Their instrumentals are all right, kind of Bela Fleck twangy-plunky. I'm not an enormous fan of the vocalist. She's got kind of an Annie Lennox meets Melissa Etheridge sound. All in all, fair fare.
