We Are Amateurs, You And I

RESTOCK.The posthumous release. The swansong, if you will. These New Yorkers-by-way-of-Philadelphia exercise the principle of control. Control, but not necessarily restraint. You could try to peg them as from the Archers Of Loaf camp, or from the Modest Mouse camp, or even from the camps of Pavement, The Replacements, The Promise Ring, or Rick Springfield, but you'd be wrong every time. These guys put the craft of songwriting ahead of all else, and their performances have proven that they can more than pull it off live.
