"Bay Area alt. country heroes The Cowlicks are a spirited bunch of guys with quite a few "formerly of" pedigrees among them - bassist/vocalist Mike Anderson of the Big Blue Hearts, drummer Peter Tucker of The Waybacks, songwriter and lead singer/guitarist Todd Novak of The Schramms - but with songs like these, you'll soon be focused on this rollicking debut rather than their bio. This quintet delivers catchy, countrified gems dripping with slide guitar and mandolin mastery. Brad Kava of the San Jose Mercury News noted of his first listen, "The songwriting was so sharp and focused, the performance so tight, the harmonies so smooth, I couldn't believe this was a band that still had day jobs... equally comfortable with Hank Williams-inspired country and Petty-flavored rock." -- www.MilesOfMusic.com
