Many Thanks!!!
Many big thank yous to all of the fine folks who have helped us immensely in our short existence as a band so far. Big thanks to Billy Mellon and his amazing Wilmington Unplugged series, John Staton for his many kind words in the Star News, and the awesome folks at The Beat Magazine. And to the folks who have stopped to say hello or to encourage us, we can't say thank you enough either. -
The Beat Magazine review!
Big thanks to John Fonvielle for his review in The Beat Magazine!
"Talkin' Ugly
This local duo was a big hit at a recent Wilmington Unplugged. Hard to beat youthful enthusiasm, and they have plenty of that. A large sound for a duo, they take on all instruments on their disc. Greg Newman and Stephen Bennett sound like a cross between Crazy Horse (Neil Young's backing band) and Elephant's Memory (I'll make you look that one up). Surprisingly catchy and more-than-clever lyrics wrapped around a loose alt-country sound, their songs make for much less than an ugly experience. This ain't rocket science, just laid-back twang. From "County Line" to the literary "Chekhov's Gun" which has a They Might be Giants feel, each song has something to latch onto. They all deliver at least one memorable lyric. Talkin' Ugly is like a young wine, you can drink it now but it gets better with age. Look forward to more."
