PERIO

The Great Divide

About Me

"The shifts from minimal tones to maximum orchestration throw the balance of Medium Crash out of whack. But the strong songwriting and performances helps PERIO overcome that obstacle."
Christopher Waters (EXCLAIM!)
"Splitting the difference between the maximalist approach of Spiritualized and the smart guitar landscapes of vintage Dream Syndicate, franco-american combo PERIO cut quite an impressive swath on Medium Crash."
David Sprague (ICE)
"Medium Crash...a strange David Lynch type film that takes place in a surreal Queens dreamscape with just the right touch of Neil Young here and there to give it that extra edge. Amazing".
Stephen Tunney (aka DOGBOWL)
