"The sound is bright, breezy and poppy on the surface, and under laid by a tight punk-rock-orientated rhythm section. It’s upbeat, accessible stuff, but there’s still enough grit." Rockrealms.com

The Ready Stance

“In these days of gimmicky indie projects, the Ready Stance’s time-honored sound is rare: just four guys in a room knocking out earnest, urgent rock, much as it could’ve been done in any decade. Yarns—all set to sweeping, melody-rich hooks, raw, ringing guitars, and driving rhythms—are rooted in fact and stranger than fiction; literate, image-laden observations with a penchant for classic, bent Midwestern arcana." -Peter Aaron, Music Editor, Chronogram
