NOTES FROM THE UNDERGROUND
Ken Barnes of USA Today had this to say about The Deadbeat Poets "Notes From the Underground":
"....it captivated me - terrific, tuneful rock songs." August 31, 2007
USA Today’s Playlist for the week of September 4, 2007 includes:Ernest T, Deadbeat Poets:
Midwest band featuring a member of power-pop cult heroes Blue Ash creates the perfect, early-Who-echoing (I’m a Boy, most closely) guitar-pop jangler.
".....if you think 1966 was the best-ever year for rock music, then this is also an essential purchase"..........Kent Benjamin-Pop Culture Press
".....Dear Wes Anderson, here we are.".... Paul Ford-The Morning News
".....Underground is a living, breathing exemplar of power-pop’s most enduring qualities"...... Greg Beets-The Austin Chronicle
"......The Deadbeat Poets can trace their lineage to a long list of garage-punks, but there’s also plenty of Stones and Beatles running through the power-pop grooves of their debut album, Notes From The Underground.".....Eddie Fleisher-Cleveland Scene
".....Yes, just this: I like this album Very, VERY much. ’Cause I do believe these here Poets, steeped in their tight fisted and pant-legged CBGB revelry, sound to me just as I imagine the Eighties onward may have-SHOULD have had, say, dear dead Stiv had been a chart-topper as opposed to the Cars or Huey Lewis........Well, we can still daydream, can’t we?".......Gary Pig Gold-Rock Beat International
"... one great cd from Flying Saucers to Nothing." Christopher Duda-SugarBuzz Magazine
"....The band is as spry and lively as any half it’s age, though-with songs such as "The Green Man" and "A Funny Little Feeling" bouyed by sharp hooks and topnotch songwriting."...........The Big Takeover
"... marries classic power pop to a garage/punk aesthetic that’s both contemporary and Nuggets-worthy. Highlights include the twisty, twangy shuffle-rocker “The Green Man,†the Small Faces-styled psych-pop of “The Goody Wagon†and the rousing, rumbling, New York Dolls-like “The Truth About Flying Saucers.†Plus, you gotta love a band that titles a song “The Stiv Bators Ghost Tourâ€: Secich was part of the Dead Boys vocalist’s solo band, and the tune’s a memorably heartfelt tribute to a fallen comrade".......Fred Mills-Harp Magazine
"... it’s a super-colossal tasty treat - like an Everlasting Gobstopper for your ears, with layer after layer of flavor slowly revealed" Peter Chakerian-Cool Cleveland
"... their debut CD, Notes From The Underground, gathered the debris of a combined century-plus of music-making to create a disc that’s both contemporary and retro, with echoes of ’60s pop, garage and psychedelic rock, ’70s punk and ’80s new wave, processed through a punchy up-to-date sound." Anastasia Pantsios-Cleveland Free Times
"... this is a great album that fits like an old favorite pair of jeans" Powerpopaholic
