I miss them too

"Such a great band and such good people. The thing with the Articles is that they stepped it up a notch live.. so many notches. Saw them a few different times in a few different towns and they would recognize you and sit down during their off time while other people were soloing. I've never heard a band tear up a hall/dive bar/ yuppie eatery/etc quite like them. Truly something to see. They are truly missed. On the plus side, they were nice enough to subtly leave another 15 tracks that they didn't realease on Flip... luckily I got them all before they took their long break. Ahhhh, awesome stuff. If you guys see this, I still enjoy you, even if you've all grown up and gone onto other things. My articles sticker I put on my brand new car 6 years ago is still the only one on my car. Thanks guys!"

Let there be drums

"Drummer Dan is an old, now distant, friend from elementary school near Wash, DC. We used to jam together, to the extent that we could at that age, and I can verify that he had rhythm even way back when. I've only recently discovered this music (March 2003), which takes rhythm to a whole new level of interesting involvement -- I'm still amazed it remains rock solid despite its ska swings. Anyway, just a note of hello to Dan and thanks to the band for music that appeals to intelligent listeners! Regarding the CD itself, production is fine; musical balance is excellent; and emotional involvement hits highs immediately and remains."

...and I don't even like jazz

"This album is just plain amazing. It doesn't really have any lyrics, but you won't miss them. Every song is terrific. This is coming from a person who doesn't like jazz, so that has to tell you something."
