Reviews for "Brush The Green"

1. "Snippets of Foo Fighters' guitar attack and even a bit of Godsmack's metal enter the overall sound, and the result is a successful combination of good songwriting and enough testosterone to impregnate Olympia, WA."

2. "This music delivers "mesmerizing energy and quicksand vocal lines" by writing frenetic and up tempo songs that "stick in your head like a fly on the wall"

5. "When I started playing this cd for the first time it reminded me of the first time I put Nirvana's "Bleach" in my tape player. I'm not just talking about the raw energy or intense vocals, I'm talking about that excited feeling that swept over me. That pure adrenaline rush that had me ecstatic for days. It has been years since I was shoving my way around a pit with my buddies, but this album brought it all back in an instant. The worst part of this album is that it is so short, forcing me to prematurely snap back to the reality of the shirt & tie, 9 to 5 lifestyle that has become my life."

6. "Thank you, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots. The world is a better place for your music, and Stripvine are one of the bands in the world that have soaked it all in and continue in your very large footsteps. From the opening grunge-soaked paranoia of "Mind" to the five-song EP's closing notes, the Arcadia four-piece churn, scream and burn."

7. "Tunes like "Longer" and "Hate Me" make a fast crash into modern rock paradise. On the latter track singer Rocky Mazzarella blares, "I thought everything would be fine/ I guess I was wrong." These are strong words that echo the intense emotions underlying the music. The EP closes with the phased out guitar intro of "New Life," a song that ponders the pains of this existence and the hope of something better. This highlight track kicks with mesmerizing energy and a quicksand vocal line. Stripvine is a name that is likely to shine bright on the national music radar in the not-too-distant future. If the five songs on the band's EP are any indication of the power, hostility and driving hooks that these guys are capable of, the world will soon know the music of Stripvine." - Indie Music Review
