Album Notes

With personal and striking compositions, rendered with a stark harmonic veneer, this trio emerges with a cerebral, detached and often bittersweet D.I.Y. song-cycle, built upon contemplation and poignant observation.

Reviews of Henry's Debut album: Cyanide

This is what hip is ... cool ... dark ... images of The Velvet Underground ... Henry possess that beat poetry, introspecting underground rock feel. I haven't heard a CD like this in a while, so it felt good to hear this one. "Cyanide" is a mood-setting, laidback, collection of eight tracks that holds this element of artistry and depth. Maybe it's time again to take a walk on this side ... the beat that Henry's setting.
-Debbie Catalano, SoundCheck

This trio mixes folk-pop, grunge & indie rock to make a disc that bounces with influences from the likes of Dinosaur Jr., The Velvet Underground, Patti Smith and Weezer. This album starts out heavy and transitions into a multi-dimensional experiment that continues to sound better with each listen.
-J.C. Carnahan, IMPACT Press

Henry sounds as if it has the chops to go deep in the future. Their audience, and it's sure to be a large one, will find them.
-Joe Hartlaub, Music-reviewer.com

Henry's tunes are like the 80s, kicking the likes of Sting and Asia out on their asses and grooving into the unlit alleys and cult clubs that gave life to a culture.
-Ben Ohmart, Editor, Music Dish On-Line

With a snappy punk rock delivery reminiscent of Iggy Pop and Alice Cooper, the members of Henry kick out these eight songs with fierce abandon ... and deliver a brash album.
-Doug Sloan, Metronome Magazine

If the trio can keep up with what they have started, success just might follow.
-Lydia Cox, ActionmanMAGAZINE

Cyanide is a remarkable debut from a fairly young band.
-Gail Worley, Ink19.com

An excellent-if-bittersweet effort from the beautifully out-of-time Henry.
