CHEZ STADIUM Freshman Slump

A thick and chewy batter of original rock, pop and alt-whatnot, full of sugary nuggets and salty asides. Lyrically ambitious and refreshingly un-radio-friendly, Freshman Slump quickly reveals its velcro-strength hooks and inescapable sonic pleasures. Written/produced by Randall Payton. Recorded/mixed by Brian Berg (44 Long).
"Songwriter-guitarist-singer-producer Randall Payton is as smart(-assed?) as his band's name, tossing clever curve balls of odd chord changes and curious turns of phrase into would-be populist pop."
"Chez Stadium kick out catchy riffs on nearly every track."

THE LONESOMES Quick Fixes & Power Trips

An edgy romp in the vein of Drive-By Truckers and Son Volt, where intimate story-telling meets heavy guitar licks, fish-hook bass lines and machine-gun drum rolls. The overall sound, though, is much more early Jayhawks and Velvet Crush. Literate and character-driven, the tunes put a modern spin on timeless themes of war, God and love, at times echoing the disappointment of an American public that feels duped. Produced by 44 Long's Brian Berg.

THE LONESOMES Circling The Sun

Their 2004 debut full-length disc.
"Urban Americana that travels Wilco's sidewalks on an old Schwinn cruiser."
"The sweet, rootsy pop of The Lonesomes breezes about with a curiously sinister naivete...from airy to brooding with lackadaisical ease. There`s no lack of rock though, as evident with numbers that blaze with near-psychedelic fervor."
