Sunday Flood “Advisory” - Ink19

This Wisconsin trio pushes out some mean emo tunes. Like smooth soaring vocals that twist into screams, breaking through the stop start rhythm section and flying higher than the soaring guitar. Not totally polished at their sound, but passionate. Overdramatic, but that's to be expected. Less punk and more rock, ...

Sunday Flood “Velvet Is Falling” - Collective Zine

Modern-day melodic emo-rock that's very much along the lines of Christie Front Drive, Elliott and Sunny Day Real Estate, drifting dreamily along and occasionally building up into rocking parts with desperate, impassioned screams. Sure, they wear their influences on their sleeves but it's nonetheless cool enough to make me prick ...

The String And Return “Invisible City” - The Zone

Invisible City is a richly layered, yet subtly understated soundscape. The three guitars (or sometimes two guitars and a keyboard) are precise and distinct without approaching disjointed, busy or flashy. All of the tracks are dreamy, anticlimactic meanderings ("Locked In," "The Rut"), but about half of them have a little ...

The String And Return “Invisible City” - The Pitch

To listen to Invisible City is to enter a different world -- specifically, one where spacing between words is discouraged and everything functions at a slower speed. Adjusting to the group's snailcore sound takes time, but eventually the charm of its sleepy songs becomes apparent. The springiest tune, "Lemon Slice," ...
