Review of High School Heroes by Blackbirds
Genre: Acoustic

love the guitar work
This is a great song. Very sincere sounding vocals. The bass is cool...it has a very-understated groove to it. The vocals are laid back cool and not forced. The lyrics are moving and entertaining. I like the harmonies as well. The percussion sounds tight. My favorite part is the guitar playing. I would have liked to hear some other element in the outro...just to come in and leave a stronger closing impression...

A great melodic song!!
The curve of the earth tells me this is a just a real nice pretty song to listen to. Lyrics like this make you cry and you don't know why. The music is perfect for the sentiment of the lyrics being delivered. BEAUTIFUL SONG!!

Review of "Edge of Town" Steve Earle-like lyrics
I love this vocalist. There is a quality to his voice that makes all the depressing lyrics authentic and convincing. I love the sentiment of the song, we need more songs that are lyrically like this. Very Steve Earle-like lyrics... the band is tight and effective... The arrangement is OK, the production is excellent... The true mark of an effective social commentary is to connect it to the personal realities of life and this band has done that.
