Press

"With vocals that from start to finish compliment each other and such an unprecedented ability to transcend the genres of indie and rock, LaSalle are, without a doubt, something special." - www.punknews.org

"LaSalle have one of the greatest drummers of our generation backing a duo that writes circles around their contemporaries. Admit you like the Postal Service and rejoice that you miss Jawbreaker and you’ll find somewhere in the middle that LaSalle is everything you’ve waited for in modern music." - www.decoymusic.com
