Search - Schooner :: Hold on Too Tight

Cited by the Philadelphia Weekly as evidence of a musical renaissance in North Carolina (hearkening back to the Triangle's early-90s heyday), Schooner is a fivesome from Chapel Hill made up of siblings Reid and Kathryn Johnson, Tripp Cox, Megan Culton and Billy Alphin. "Schooner is currently one of North Carolina's catchiest, melding an effective compound of conscious pop writing with near-tangible grit. The backlash-proof sturdiness of Guided By Voices and the upbeat thrill of the Wedding Present are recalled but perhaps not depended upon. They hit all the right chords, sing with pure sincerity and produce the most agreeable ranges of energy." - Encore Magazine. Standard Jewel Case.
