"The latest signing to Cleveland's Exit Stencil Records, Like Bells, aren't your typical band of instrumental rockers. They do more than pair a simple melody with effects pedals and stacks of amps to create dynamic moments of tension and release. On a number like "Yeti," this Oberlin trio is just as likely to follow a tense moment with a serene string movement as they are to flood eardrums with a flurry of loud. So when the big banging, clanging moment does come, it doesn't feel like predictable post-rock, but the just culmination of patient, piercing introspection." - I Rock Cleveland

"Their songs quiver with ambient moods, prog-rock elements (like odd time signatures), wordless vocal lines, violin sawing, and above all, melodic creativity." - Blogcritics.org

THE NATIVITY SINGERS (Lexington, KY)

"The Nativity Singers. Five vibrant tracks of new wave indie music from this unsigned duo from Lexington, Kentucky. Mixing sounds that suggest that they are influenced by bands such as Talking Heads, The Tubes and The Jam, The Nativity Singers produce songs of high quality. I liked ‘Cave Story’ and the slower paced ‘August Shuts Down’, ideal for that vacation feeling and sounds like a cross between David Byrne and Captain Beefheart ;-) The best track for me though was the punchy opener ‘The Tourist Song’ which rocks through its vignette to be an ideal three minute pop song full of mayhem, fine guitar work and a chorus which could go global ;-) Take a listen and see what I mean!" - Mr. Nixon’s Music Class
