Reflecting on many of their earlier influences such as
Mudhoney,
the Pixies, and
Sonic Youth, the members of
Garland Buckeye put together a feverish album of compelling lyrical expression, intense guitar work, and passionate rhythms. This album is all about angst-ridden, emotionally charged, excitingly fulfilling rock & roll.
More Seas Than Before rambles from track to track with heavy-hitting percussion, fiery basslines, and distortion-laden, blazing guitar chords filled with crunch and bite. A delightful record for avid fans who wish to reminisce on the grunge period while digesting some fresh new music at the same time,
More Seas Than Before is a fine display of grunge fever in an age of indie music when records like these are hard to come by.
Garland Buckeye is a heavy rock-laden force to be reckoned with, a youthful, exuberant, and brash band proudly wearing honest intensity and passionate flair within its songs. ~ Shawn M. Haney
