Live

far from even at The Pontiac Grille

Well, they may not be as good as they think they are; but they're still pretty damn good. I think all of those girls in the front got to their heads. They opened up the set with a nice relaxed, somber melody; a nice way to get us all into the groove. Well, it got me into the groove anyway. The of girls up front who were there to get drunk and chitchat over the quiet parts of the set never really seemed to get into the music. I think they really got into the vocalist, Justin, though. By far, my favorite thing about far from even was the incredibly disparate musical influences they show. I asked the guys to describe themselves before the show, and they couldn't really put themselves into a category. That's always a good thing in my opinion. I caught elements of Jane's Addiction, Rage Against the Machine, and Busta Rhymes. Yes, I said Busta Rhymes. They actually covered one of his songs, and did a brilliant job of it too.

I thought the lyrics to "Monkey in the Middle" were really great.

- Tom Morello, Rage Against the Machine (hear full phone call on home page)

Smash-mouthed hard rock with a groove edge and metal undercurrent, this is a fiery first effort from his Pennsylvania act. Intense vocals in the Rage Against The Machine vein, but with very thought-rovoking lyrics. The guitar work moves from gutt-wrenching rhythms to snarling solos, and the rhythms tandem drives the beats like a runaway dynamite truck.

- Music Morsels, Marietta, GA

It sounds like far from even fell to earth fully formed, landing like a meteor somewhere between Rage Against the Machine, Jane’s Addiction and Tool… this band is a lot of fun live.

- Rockpile, Philadelphia , PA

"far from even achieves something all its own while still managing to plow the rich fields of the ever growing alternative nation." "...heavy guitar chunking, moody bass and searing vocals."

- Allen M. Kelmer (Philly Rock Guide, PA)

"This is just the sort of band major labels who are trying to be indie would sign"

- Larry Kay (Philly Rock Guide, PA)

"The music has a full, rich sound not unlike that explored by the Cult, but with a funky progressive edge. The vocals are high octane, with plenty of reverb, conviction, and energy."

- Carol Schutzbank (MAPPS, PA)

"The first album is raw, uncut and ready to eat, so pick up a slice of far from even and give it a taste."

- (University Reporter, PA)

"They've been able to forge an original sound leaving their derivative roots behind. The musical arrangements are textured, dark and driven with a high intensity."

- Carol Schutzbank (Big Shout, DE)

"They have a very original, edgy sound, kind of a cross between the heavy, mercurial angst of Jane's and the buzzsaw pop of Nirvana."

- Robert Makin (The Aquarian, NJ)

"This triumphant celebration of pessimism is one big, fat rocking-frolic. "

"They display an intense energy and plenty of spirit. But what really sets them apart from the rest is a musical maturity not often found in young bands. From strong vocals, tight guitar play, solid drum beat, and thought provoking lyrics, far from even sounded like a winner to me."

- Uncle Mike (The 2 River Times, NJ)

"This Philly-area band takes cool riff-laden, heavy Alterna-Rock and doses it with a dramatic vocal style. Overall, these six songs are dynamic, somewhat enigmatic and show big potential.

- Mike Breen (City Beat, OH)

"I was very impressed. I eagerly await whatever new material they have, and would recommend this to anyone who loves a band with plenty of energy and the hard edge that personifies live rock ‘n' roll.

- Jon Rubin (University Reporter, VA)

"Hard edged fans, hard progressive and mature metal fans may want to devour the release package in a quick attempt to get it into a CD player where this release may stay for weeks."

-(The Local Magazine, VA)
