What Everyone is saying:
"In an era of watered down rock and roll, Simeon Soul Charger manages to stand out as a truly great rock band." - Buzzbin Magazine
“Every once in a while, a band comes seemingly out of nowhere and makes an immediate impact with their professionalism, talent and a knack for creating amazing music. Having been in existence for less than a year but already promoting a phenomenal EP, a tour schedule, and a hypnotic live show, Simeon Soul Charger is one of those bands.” - Fliprag Magazine
“On their 2009 self-titled debut EP, Simeon Soul Charger capture their distinctive cosmic gospel. For six songs, the Akron five-piece orchestrates arena rock you might associate with Muse or Spiritualized, backed by grandiose guitar sweeps, electronics, pizzicato strings and singer-songwriter Aaron Brook's operatic screams, which go from Matthew Bellamy to Jeff Buckley.” - Cleveland Scene
“We’ve written about Simeon Soul Charger before and their fairly direct rock vibe was in full effect on Friday. I hadn’t seen them for a while and it was good to confirm that my original opinion was well-founded. They rock.” - Citizen Dick
