Sounds Like: "When it comes to identity, Landing on the Moon has it in spades -- the Omaha, NE five piece has three vocalists including an intense woman keyboard player, a dynamic over-the-top drummer and a bigger-than-life guitarist who wears his soul on his sleeve. They take chances with styles and dynamics, merging sprawling, poignant album rock with modern, quirky, post-rock tendencies. Whether you like them or not (and certainly those looking for standard-ish jangle-pop indie probably won't), you have to admire their bravado in playing a style of music -- with honesty and determination -- that no other bands are even attempting right now."

"Landing on the Moon had just began their set, where they revealed a handful of new songs that are dramatically different than their old material. It's not a completely different sound, but rather a better one, thanks to arrangements that take advantage of their melodies and guitars. A few of the new ones ended with lengthy repeated (heavy) grooves that never went too long or became boring. The band says they're getting ready to enter the studio to lay down the new stuff." ~ June 22nd, 2007
