"Nashville-based rock band NOVELIFT is quickly gaining a reputation in the southeast for their explosive live shows. With their unique, piano rooted songwriting along with the dynamic range of vocalist, Colin Ambrose, NOVELIFT manages to shift from an inconspicuous hum to a swelling, vigorous rock band within seconds. In June 2006 they release their first EP entitled "letmeinthisismypass." The EP included 6 songs and they are currently completing their full length album this year."

"Novelift's sound is heavily weighted by the singer's vocals, which are piercingly beautiful yet haunting and sad. Think of a very suicidal Freddie Mercury, gathering up his last remaining ounces of energy (before death) in order to deliver quivering wails of pain in a soprano more haunting than Gorecki's 3rd Symphony. Novelift [delivers] a powerful, gut-wrenching, goth-influenced song that recalled the best of Trent Rezner combined with touches of Pink Floyd's trippy Dark Side of the Moon. The latter is in fact how I would describe the sound of Novelift in a live performance. [Colin’s] keyboard has the tone of a creepy circus piano, and his vocals are some of the best soprano I've heard outside the Schermerhorn. With more touring and a smartly produced studio effort, Novelift could easily become the Nine Inch Nails of the 2000's."

“Local rockers Novelift’s Radiohead-esque minor key melodicism and guitar fuzz are offset by a pop bounce straight out of the sunny 60’sâ€

“I'm always a little nervous when I work with bands, I must say. However when bands like Novelift come in, bring a crowd, and satisfy everybody in the building I can honestly say I am glad I booked these guys and DEFINITELY look forward to working with them again in the near future.â€
