So the story goes, the band made a huge impression when, as an unsigned band, they made it on to a big alternative LA radio station, KROQ's playlist and within hours they had mutlipe Big Label Record deals thrown at them with this song to which none of them were accepted.. their souls remain in tact and here you are: Sometime around Midnight!
here are just a few of the Reviews..
"The best debut CD of 2008." THE BOSTON HERALD
"Poetry you can dance to...nothing short of amazing." LA TIMES
"Inebriated celebrations of love's boundless optimism." BLENDER
"A true poetic experience. Beautiful, painful and terrifyingly real." SEATTLE WEEKLY
"The best album of 2008. This is as vibrant and potent and moving as modern rock can be." SONIC PARTHENON
"Earnest tales of downtrodden folk, seeking contact in a disconnected age." SPIN
"Absurdly rich with talent...Live, the group delivers total cohesion and unflappable energy." LA WEEKLY
"Bleeding-heart narratives of love, death and Dylar." WIRED
"Occasionally you get lucky and stumble across a band at the very moment they ignite the engines and blast off into the heavens. The Airborne Toxic Event just gets louder and richer until the music practically bursts at the seams and spills its steaming guts across the stage." NME

Is it just me, or does the singer look like a young Noah Taylor?
Excellent tunage. I like it. I want to hear more.
This band has its charm as it represents an older 90’s alternative sound, that for the most part is non- existant today. Maybe that is why they stand out? I’m very luke warm about this.
I hyped The Airborne Toxic Event on Everhype.com and gave them 62% which I think is fairly accurate.
