"With influences ranging from Big Star to Built To Spill, Tiara has created a real low-fi gem."Titletron" ebbs and flows nicely (especially on songs like "Waiting For Blue Skies" and "The Living"). Harmonies blend in with the hooks and riffs with ease. Tiara is one of the best kept secrets in the indie world. Check this record out if your into bands like Built To Spill (among others) it's worth a listen."

"While building on influences ranging from Big Star to Built To Spill, Tiara's new record oozes with grand melodies and riffs. On songs like "Waiting For Blue Skies" & "The Living" they display amazing range. The records production is very lo-fi, it sounds wonderful. Some of the effects reminded me of 60's style psychedelia of a band like The Zombies. "Titletron" is one of the better records I've heard so far this year, pick it up, you won't be disappointed.

NOT 'Lo-Fi' at all

"TIARA has created a monster-masterpiece with their third full-length album, TITLETRON. With a wide range of song styles from Beatles to Radiohead to The Left Banke, TIARA sets the listener up for a seamless 40 minute ride thru music history. While most pegged 'indie-rock' type bands fall short of eclipsing their influences, TIARA never seems to be worried about this. Strong songs like 'Wish You Away' show the progress TIARA has made as songwriters, and the recording fidellity is excellent. Anyone who thinks this is Lo-Fi has got to be crazy. Anyway, pick this up if you enjoy great songs, good instrumentation and unique rock 'n' roll. Columbus OHIO is lucky to call these guys home."
