PRESS for the new record, The Sons:

"The band plays crunchy, jagged and rough-edged rootsy rock, alternately recalling Buffalo Springfield/Neil Young, Will Oldham, Wilco, and early R.E.M. ... while Comerford sings with a distinguishing, Jeff-Tweedy-like twang. Despite the despondent lyrical content and occasional raucousness, the album also has a down-home, heartfelt quality that makes an impact." --Mark Suppanz, Big Takeover #64

"Comerford and his current bandmates--bassist Matthew Seifert, drummer Steve Kiraly, and fellow guitarist Stephen Howard (Pinebender, Tight Phantomz)--place their faith in the kind of rock-solid attack that relies on an intimate and innate rapport between band members ... Considering how often Kaspar Hauser’s lineup has changed over the years, the accomplishment is all the more impressive. The twin guitars burn and surge, moving precisely within the lean grooves." --Peter Margasak, Post No Bills/Chicago Reader

"Despite the life-altering events that spurned it, 'The Sons,' recorded over the course of a year in a basement studio in Logan Square, remains joyously unvarnished. Songs such as "Mark of Cain" and "Macbeth II (In the Morning)" are loaded with ragged blues riffs and drummer Steve Kiraly's loose-limbed kit-work." --Andy Downing, Chicago Tribune

"'The Sons' is a testament to the concept of long-players — records you listen to from end to end, soaking in each and every note, coda and phrase." --Matthew R. Perrine, Duluth Budgeteer News
