Album Notes

"Editor's Pick" (roots rock) - cdbaby.com

"Christine Mourad's voice moves from choirgirl-sweetness to bluesy growl and Jason Orme's guitar, honed razor sharp from his work with the likes of Alanis Morissette, is the perfect compliment to Mourad's instrument.
BIG RED BUTTON has managed to make something remarkable; an intimate album of size."
--Matthew Carnahan, author, Serpent Girl

"...indie sound with roots/Americana undertones, Big Red Button is definitely added to the list of bands to watch out for."
--www.altcountry.nl

"This is great storytelling wrapped in beautiful music: The lost art of songwriting is rediscovered in this sparkling collection. It's great from the first listening and only gets better. Buy this cd!"
--Helen Hunt

"...a collection of smart young punks from Los Angeles who are going to be super-famous in a nano-second"."
--Peggie Jones, www.singslikehell.com

" Singer Christine Mourad, who has appeared in the films Jesus' Son and Lovely & Amazing, fronts the group. Looking a bit like Adrian Brody's hot sister, she exudes homespun sexiness and is blessed with a voice that resists comparisons. Harmonizing with guitarist Jason Orme, a veteran of Alanis Morissette's band, they create a sound that one might categorize as no-depression with surprising hints of Bertolt Brecht. The hushed "Alive," from their indie release Based on True Events, closed their set before the crowd brought them back for an encore of Tom Waits' "Blind Love," a choice that said volumes about their intentions."
--Review from "Sings Like Hell" show, Lobero Theater
The Santa Barbara Independent

Achtung Bitte!!

Dreamy vocal harmonies and amazingly textured instrumental arrangements. A great first effort from this crew of up-and-comers. If Rolling Stone reviewed it, they'd give it 6 stars. How much better could this record be? None more...
