"Who is this band?!? Loving this blissed-out, warped, bendy, post-weirdo music... Highly recommended."
--eMusic
"...no shortage of hauntingly searing guitars, driving bass licks, and beastly drumming."
--XLR8R Magazine
"Me You Us Them meld an intense blend of distorted, off-kilter guitar riffs with searing vocals melodies, rendering them one of the most memorable groups in recent memory."
--Paste Magazine NYC
"...the best new band out of NYC... have taken the sound developed in the mid to late 80's by bands like The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Cocteau Twins, and My Bloody Valentine and blended it with 90's alt-rock and the resurgent sound of dancerock and Britpop to create a fresh new take on a genre that hasn't had a spotlight shown on it in well over a decade."
--ThePaintedMan.com
"...a great album to transition between the seasons... 'Post-Data' finds the band discovering a unique sound and really pushing the limits of indie rock."
--BoomBoomChik.com
"...angular riffs and catchy vocals grab you from square one... Me You Us Them pay their dues to their predecessors, but have a very forward thinking sound. 'Post-Data' is thick with solid grooves, washy textures and raw energy."
--CuneiMedia.com
"This band's impressive wall of guitars rivals in "My-Bloody-Valentine-ness" that of Asobi Seksu's first album - I'd recommend any follower of the toe staring sonic cult to check out these guys' tunes."
--The Deli Magazine
"...Post-Data sounds incredibly fresh with more catchy tones and flourishes than I am able to count."
--BuiltOnAWeakSpot.com
"'Post-Data' is a mix of industrial punk, dirty shoegaze, new wave and even grunge that sounds as much a part of the great sounds coming from Brooklyn as it does entirely removed from it."

Diehard - (Set time: 10:00 PM)
Diehard is four people shrinking their influences into immediate indie pop, like a cannonball dressed up in an autumn sweater. This New York band "has the inherent ability to know their influences and use them to create a sound that has passion and originality dripping from it's fingers. …Referencing virtually every great late 90's indie rock band, they still manage to put a spin on it that makes it fresh and exciting." [The Dumbing of America]
Black Hills - (Set time: 9:00 PM)
Soccer Mom - (Set time: 8:00 PM)
Boston's Soccer Mom's sound emerges from a detailed exploration of intimate connections between contrasting forces. Through melody and dischord, clean tones and chaotic feedback, they find a balance between the referential and the staggeringly new. The vocals are often sparse and quietly deconstruct conventional song structure amidst a whirlwind of dual guitar histrionics.
Reviews:
"Too-loud-to-be-dreaming rock quartet Soccer Mom unleash their own noisy, driven, pop gems of streamlined distortion... superb enough to launch the band into the national realm." - The Boston Phoenix
"Sonically superb. Long sustaining notes paint out the walls, while a buzzy bass marches down the middle, jaunting out its own fuzzy, buzzy melodies." - CD On Songs
"This debut EP manages to bring in just the right amount of ugly noise with a catchy framework. " - Brainwashed
"There's no denying the band's strong '90s influences — with a distinct New England color — but a listen to the new EP proves Soccer Mom owns it." - Nerve.com
"This is a really great EP that delivers on the bands promise of contrasting sounds and styles. There's melody and feedback, rapid drum fills and dreamy vocals." - The 405
"Soccer Mom are not afraid to embrace their shoegaze influences whilst experimenting with something new." - The Art Of Stuffing
"Clouds of melody, both of the real and phantom variety, wrap around thick basslines and all-business drums like crawling ivy to produce a sum greater than the individual parts." - Michael Fournier, yourband.info
"The perfect balance between harmony and distortion, melody and debilitating feedback." - Brendan T, SONIC MASALA
"Soccermom sets off new parts and bridges with a patient efficacy; powershrugs into exuberant crescendoes with nonchalance. Everything about Soccermom's music seems informed not only by the best music of two decades past, but also a measured, casual attitude toward crafting good music." - Jay Breitling, Clicky Clicky Music
"You Are Not Going to Heaven really continues to impress with a great melding of jangly indie-rock/pop and subtle jabs of harsher/woozy feedback." - Built On A Weak Spot
