Music Lovers...Welcome Back

"Music used to be fun. A song would come on the radio and we would cheerfully tap out the cadence on our steering wheels, the arms of our chairs, or anything nearby that would work as a makeshift drum kit. Then suddenly music wasn't so much fun any more. Melodies were forgotten, harmony became a memory, and the heads that used to bob became sulking half-nods. Thankfully there is an undercurrent of young musicians who refuse to let the feel good aspects of rock and roll die off completely. Crosley, on their debut disc "Off the Laundry" offers a portal to a time when music was indeed fun and so much more. Few bands manage to write such powerfully poignant songs while managing to sound so good in the process. One can easily deduce that time and care was taken on each track. As you listen, you will find yourself smiling and singing along at times. Quietly reminiscing at others. But however you react, the four guys in Crosley have written a record that guarantees you will react. And that is more than ninety percent of the bands playing today can offer."
Crosley -- Great Fun Power-Pop!

"Crosley's freshman offering, OFF THE LAUNDRY, is a great collection of pop songs. The music is tight, the writing is fun and catchy, and the riffs will stick with you. Vince's voice soars on songs like GIRL LIKE YOU and SOUL SURVIVE, and the first cut, AUTOMATIC, will have you tapping your toes on the very first listen."
