"Did you ever have an album that had almost every song relate to something or everything that has happened in your life? Did it move you and make you tell everyone about this amazing record and you just played the songs over and over again? Like the it was the soundtrack of your life? Then you have to hear this amazing album! Late Tuesday is a MUST see and hear band from Bellingham, Washington. These girls have this amazing ability to write music that is so enchanting, lyrically moving, and beautiful that to quote a friend who hear them sing live, (and by the way they sound even MORE amazing live) "They're Angels!"They truly are. Playing their own instruments with ease and grace. The girls have a sense of style that is all their own. With hypnotic songs like, "I Do", to playful and fun "Everything Means Nothing", this album showcases a great girl band that breaks the norm. Considered, Sarah McLachlan meets the Dixie Chicks and Sixpence None the Richer, this is a band that you will hear about very, very soon."
Musical jewel

"11.25.03
Late Tuesday: Looking for Flowers Again The melodies soar and the harmonies ascend throughout this a capella folk-pop collection. I'd like to call it "11 songs full of grace and empowering music to lift you up at any given time." This Washington state trio hits every note with perfection, swapping vocal spotlights and instruments to create this musical jewel. You could compare them to Maren Ord or Natalie Merchant, but you'd still be way off. "Crazy" is my favorite track, and in it, the girls sing, "I know it sounds crazy/But I feel so much/And I don't' know what to do with myself/But I like being where you are." All of the songs have such intense background vocals that you feel as if you're sitting atop a mountain with the sunshine on your face...yes, seriously. "Flowers or Honesty" has a bonafide hometown feel to it, while "Looking Through Rosy Glasses" is a sweet, melodic tune. They may not appeal to everybody, but I think the majority of female vocalist worshippers will like what they hear. Personally, I think they're the best thing to come out of Washington since grunge. Be on the lookout-another album which promises to be even better will be out in time for 2004.
Favorite Tracks: Crazy, Everything Means Nothing

"if you like harmonies, interesting lyrics, and well...good music, i'd recommend picking this indie bands second CD up. i've got both and love this one more than the first. just hope they get down to Cali sometime soon! (they sound a bit like Sarah, Indigo Girls, and others but are unique)."
