here's a few early postings

'Let me make it simple. The Interiors are a guitar rock band. They are from Chicago. They are awesome.' - Can You See The Sunset From The Southside

'A lot of the group's swagger comes from the innate chemistry in its swinging rhythm section. Its bassist, Jordan, grew up playing the drums and majored in percussion performance in college. Drummer Lubinsky, meanwhile, grew up strumming a bass guitar. That knowledge of one another's instruments allows the two to play off one another on tracks like the snaking "Power Lines," where Lubinsky's off-kilter drumming provides a counterpoint to Jordan's bobbing, hypnotic bass lines.

The band claims a diverse array of influences, from Chuck Berry, R.E.M. and Sonic Youth to Ethiopian manzuma. On "A Crooked Line" the drummer even freely cops to aping a South African beat. But these aren't mellow tunes in the vein of indie darlings Vampire Weekend - not with Duncan's sneering vocals, jagged guitars and socially charged lyrics leading the charge.' - Chicago Tribune

'Their sound ranges from straightforward pop to fast-paced and gritty swinging numbers. Never pinned-down, they reference everything from the Pixies to Elvis to traditional African music. If it sounds like an interesting blend, I would agree, but the remarkable thing is the blend is seamless. The Interiors have a sound all their own and this spring, as they release their new album on 54-40 or Fight Records, the world will fall in love with it.' - Orange Alert

'Wingman and Ghosts, for instance, are completely awesome rock songs. Highly intense songs that don’t go over the top, and not going over the top is very important if you don’t want to annoy people. Modern classics like The Bug and I’m So Happy are for those who get rocked most by lyrical prowess. All in all, expect to see this on my great albums of ‘08 list, assuming I ever get around to making one!' - Either/Or

As far as comparisons can take us there is one way to sum up their album. It is great. As I was listening to the entire album I was immediately struck by how catchy each and every successive track is. Honestly, the hardest part of listening to this album was picking my favorite two songs to put in this post. After each track ended my head would mentally tick off and say "ok, that's going online," but as soon as the next track would start I would find myself in a quandary because each and every track is just as good as the one before it. This is easily one of the best debut albums I have heard in a long time. - The World Forgot

'Ah, Chicago ... it's been a while since you produced a great guitar rock band. Songwriters, alt country, hi hop - you're covered there, but where is the rock? Oh, hey - here it is! Enter The Interiors, a trio of slackers-come-serious students of rhythm's effects on dissonant melody and self-searching counter melody. Next month they'll release a self-titled debut LP on Michigan indie 54-50 or Fight, and interest in their fascinating brand of shoegaze, 60's garage pop, and whiteboy reggae is on the verge of piquing. ' - No Dessert For You

'There are so many great things about this song (Power Lines) it would take a review of encyclopaedia proportions to do it justice. The obvious crowd pleasing moments would have to include Chase Duncan's cool slacker vocals and Brian Lubinsky's refreshing off-kilter drumming but the overall feeling is of an indie classic in waiting ... The forthcoming album is awash with great singles like the slow burner with a jangling heart 'Crashing Through', the low slung shuffling rhythms of 'All The Cities' and the rapid-fire gunslinger that is 'Ghosts'. The Interiors have serious designs on your attention and if you know what's good for you you'll recipricate.' MP3Hugger

'I was so impressed by the end of of the third track ("A Crooked Line"), that I ended up going back to the beginning to hear the first two tracks again, this time from the perspective of a fan. Once you personally sign off on a band, from that point on you hear their music with the ears of a believer. The Interiors convinced and converted me after just three songs. I can already feel the fan-boy zeal starting to take over. The band's self-titled album is exactly as they promise: 11 songs, no filler. 11 really, really, undeniably good songs. These guys deserve all the fans as they can get. Count me in.' - AM 180

'The Interiors have big plans for 2008. Rightfully so, their self-titled debut album is a turbulent lesson in rhythmic rock, filled with interesting drum patterns, calculated guitar, and inventive lyrics. The highlight of the album is the song Power Lines. It is grand in every way, from the fade in open to the sing-along chorus to the idea that you can knock out everyone's cell phone reception by touching a satellite.' - Gapers Block

(on Power Lines) 'One of the things that I think makes the rhythm here so ear-catching is the dynamic interplay in the rhythm section: listen in the introduction and the verse to the stark difference between the steady, clockwork bass and the changeable drum pattern. Interestingly, the bass breaking free of its strict pulse is more or less what creates the chorus, as the melody itself does not alter that much.On guitar, Duncan adds a handsome depth to the chuggy ambiance, with rounded, semi-drone-like tones and ringing arpeggios.' - Fingertips

(on Power Lines) 'The song sounds awesome ... the guitarist plays so loudly and ferociously that I wonder if the building expanded to accommodate it. The singer whoops with glee, relishing the words he's pushing out. There's even hand-clapping, and you know I love hand-clapping.' - Cerulean's Love Of Music
