THE POLLIES
“In an ideal world, discovering a band like The Pollies wouldn’t be that big of a deal, but then again, in an ideal world, every band would be able to seamlessly blend and arrange the root elements of rock and roll while forging into new territory to create songs that sound so natural and effortless that you don’t notice the intrinsic complexity and massive undertaking that each track represents.” – Last.FM
“Jay Burgess’s voice is ragged enough to sound like he’s been a few places, but sweet enough to make your heart clench a little” – No Depression
”The Pollies succeed in bringing their own Southern sensibility to a sound that is grandiose and enchanting in a way that bleeds originality. Their sound is not just catchy, but it also lingers with you in the way any great band should.”- Glide Magazine
“Think early Wilco, kind of; shimmering, fuzzed-out, eerie guitars with a bottle slide edge to them, and hypnotically repetitive choruses.”—Brand New Kind Of
“Drawing comparisons to Wilco, The Pollies continue to bolster the region’s reputation for producing great musicians.”– Paste Magazine
Male voices united in lovely harmony, glide through aa series of notes that offer both major and minor-flavored emotions (a little Beach Boys; a little Megafaun). A long-held note morphs from sweet throats to overdriven tubes – and a blast of lusciously nasty feedback plows it’s way into the forefront, arm-in-arm with a pounding bass drum and broad stroke down the strings of an acoustic guitar. Welcome to the world of The Pollies – where the fenders of beauty are rusted out and the muffler fell off a while back, but oh, sweet Jesus…what a ride. – Relix
There’s a Wilco-like vibe to the record – a touch of alt-country with a dose of experimental rock – and I’m guessing the Alabama-based outfit is even better in person. – Pittsburgh In Tune
Steady, poignant songwriting, tight arrangements and artful production are the constants that make it a compelling record, regardless of classification. The varied arrangements give Burgess ample opportunity to showcase a wide vocal range. Other critics’ comparisons to Gram Parsons aren’t overstated, particuarly on the coincidentally named ”She.” His voice can be edgy or melodic, but it’s always poignant. – Farce The Music
