"With attention turning to Kansas City after the Republic Tigers well-received debut, many KC bands are clamoring for their coattails. Near the head of the pack, is the Cherry Tree Parade." - -Exploding in Sound
"The self-titled Cherry Tree Parade EP is well produced and will hopefully be their entry point for commercial recognition. Alongside the ubiquitous guitars and drums the imaginary use of pianos, synthesizers and the odd banjo give this young band’s music a serious depth and diversity often lacking in debutants". - -buzzinmusicblog.co.uk
I'd say you should keep an eye out for them, as I can easily see them becoming indie blogosphere darlings within the next year or so, with their danceable dissonance and down-to-earth midwestern charm. Guilt Free Pleasures
With strong indie-pop hooks, fluidly deep transitions, and duct tape strength stick-in-your-head lyrics Cherry Tree Parade has begun an undoubtably auspicious venture. Music Addiction Blog
Someone who spends this much effort on tracks know exactly what they are after. The sheer amount of detail in the track, vocally, instrumentally and lyrically, shows that The Cherry Tree Parade don't take prisoners. Its the musical tightness and diversity that really seals the deal, from the production to performance, this is a gem. Look out world. At least this time, when fame comes knocking, they know exactly how to do it right. Rebel Riffs
"The Kansas City group comes out of the gate strong on its debut self-titled EP." -Lawrence.com
"The Kansas City group's self-titled debut EP features some real bright spots. "Perfectly Polyphonic'" balances ethereal wisps of melody with a pummeling rhythm reminiscent of Cursive or Murder By Death. Other moments are softer and more cerebral, like the spaghetti-western evocations of "Pity Party for Penny." If the Cherry Tree Parade can keep such brevity alive with the chops and smarts to match, good things are sure to follow."- cd review The Pitch
"When they're playing, this band of post-Radiohead rockers is impressive. The Collinses harmonize and trade lead-vocal duties on a batch of digitally enhanced, romantic indie-pop songs that inspire dancing near the stage. The pop element of the songs really comes through on the the band's five-song EP, which is remarkably slick." -show review The Pitch
