REVIEWS...
"...frontman Matthew Bacon sings with the sharpness of Damon Albarn and the long vowels of the Psychedelic Furs' Richard Butler. The music's dark lyrics are tempered by the Cure-like playfulness and pop sensibility of guitar players Derek Knowlton, Collin Shotts, and drummer John Curtis. Go and dance alone - just don't forget your black eyeliner." - Pitch.com
"This is a record full of catchy, energetic pop tunes that are innately foot-tapping..."
- MusicGeek.org
"flawless full-length debut...every inch the classic first record." - Oklahoma Gazette 7/12/06
"...a bit of Bowie and The Cure...pretty catchy stuff here. Its definitely worth checking out."
- Ear Candy Magazine
"...these 10 songs are shot through with an obsidian dark British influence; artful, epic and searing, this is an album that renews the soul and engages the heart."
- Oklahoma Gazette 1/11/06
"...the group separates itself from the herd of also-rans by injecting a good deal of pop smarts. The tipsy saunter of leadoff cut "Don't Walk" is spiked with synths that lend a little color to the jaunt. "Bringing Knives to a Gunfight" is at once propulsive and moody, a mix of dark dynamics and rock gestalt." - Columbus Alive
"...a carefully considered whole that rewards repeat listens and invites introspection, it's stark, compelling music" - Oklahoma Gazette 1/05/06
"Geology is a strong product...a emotional and entrancing collection of songs that are alternately vulnerable, bitter and even playful." - Edmond Sun

Sounds Like: "If a band can sound like one particular moment, TSMC conjured up images of the last few frames of Lost in Translation when Scarlett Johansson walks down a busy sidewalk and the Jesus and Mary Chain song “Just Like Honey” begins to play. Their music is strangely optimistic and catchy, with harmonized choruses about love and loss." - How Was the Show.com
