EXCELLENT ACOUSTIC BASED MUSIC!

"This is Box Set's debut release which they describe as a concept album of sorts. As an independent band with no financial resources available for a lenghty studio project, BS gathered a few friends and entered the studio with the goal of recording a song a day. Ten days later, the concept was complete with the release of this ten song disc. The result is a thoroughly enjoyable acoustic based CD, much in the vein of Dave Matthews, with the energy of a live performance. Several good tracks on this disc which will have you looking for more."

A magnificent debut

"This is an outstanding debut of a truly extraordinary band. Weighing more on duets of guitars and drums, Box Set's acoustic sense is flawless. Especially Pehrson's songs, like Sundays and Back To You are magnificent, but Can't Save Myself is truly a masterpiece. Amazingly, their other albums are extremely good too, Lemonade in particular, but it is always better to listen to a band before it turns successful, at a time when they did it for all the right reasons; straight out of their hearts. So do yourself a favor and take a good listen to this album!"

Acoustic driven guitar rock

"This band is terrific! I saw them open for Huey Lewis and the News and immediately went out and bought all their CDs. This album is my favorite of the three Amazon sells - it has the classic songs "Back to You" and "Long Black Ribbon" on it. I also recommend finding their first CD called "Box Set", as well as their live duo album. Box set has great melodies, and great guitar. They are a bit like a male Indigo girls (strong acoustic influences, great harmony). Definitely check out Meantime and Thread also!"
