“The band comes in with tight harmonies and and intricate instrumentation that is far more precise than a raw punk group but carries the same amount of power... The group’s lyrics have a dark realism to them, picking at nuanced details thru a bluesy poeticism that echoes Waits more accessible tracks.”
“You’re a rockstar man! It borders on funny and at the same time I’m believing all of it.”
“Night Spins seems to know when less is more and I truly appreciate that. Modest Mouse did come to mind, as did The Strokes for some odd reason, and hints of pop rock, art rock indie artists past and present like Television and Arctic Monkeys and Talking Heads, or maybe it would be easier to say that their sound is an enticing amalgam of all those bands (or any artist that punches and swings in dramatic and divergent ways).”
