"Close Friends with Sharp Knives" Video

"With "Close Friends with Sharp Knives" , Kill The Drama brings together 11 high-gloss songs that pack remarkable punch and promise, influenced by art-rock groups like Failure, Muse and Dredg... The album incorporates elements of early-’90s grunge interlaced with modern guitar sounds, fiery riffs, swirling atmospherics and a high-test rhythm section, all supporting Laskey’s high, clear vocals, reminiscent at times of Claudio Sanchez (Coheed & Cambria) and Chino Moreno (Deftones)."

- Aaron Jenzten, Pittsburgh City Paper

"The arena-rock tag better applies to "Close Friends With Sharp Knives" a just-released CD that Kill the Drama [released February 2007]. The band’s 12-song debut has a commercial alternative-rock sound that could fit alongside Evanescence on the radio while also appealing to Rush fans. Contrary to the name, Laskey loads the songs with high drama of romantic ups and downs."

- Scott Mervis, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

"Flat out the best vocals we’ve heard on here in a long time."

- Randy Bowman for WDVE in response to a Kill the Drama in-studio live performance.
