COMMUNITY REVIEWS

The music is pleasant. submitted by tbbrown76 on August 31, 2018, 5:11pm The lyrics potentially harmless. But the recording quality is poor. Probably good live. Not recommended now.

Deserves Better Recording Quality submitted by Meginator on August 11, 2021, 4:33pm These tracks are a little rough technically due to the low recording quality and the various vagaries inherent in live performance, but the songs themselves fit squarely into the 21st-century indie tradition. A few of the songs have really good hooks, but some of the nuance gets lost in the ballads. I'd like to hear more from this band in person or via a more professional recording.

This was a special event submitted by answer-beat on August 21, 2022, 11:57pm I was at this show and it was one of the most memorable of the many SLGTM gigs I've been to since the mid-2000s. Fred told me it was the first time they played "Everyday" live, which has long been one of my favorite songs of theirs. I think the other reviewers here somehow missed the fact that this was a live recording at the very library you are a patron of. Does everything have to be audiophile sound quality? Anyway, yes, they do have studio albums, start with All Your Summer Songs.
