| “ | New York-based band Firewater, incorporated a global range of musical influences into their highly-dynamic sound. A loosely-knit ensemble centered around the lead vocals of ex-Cop Shoots Cop bass player Tod A. (born: Tod Ashley), Firewater tied together such influences as Klezmer, Indian wedding music, art-punk, and Tom Waits-style cabaret poetry to create their heady, often quite danceable sound. Coupled with Tod A.'s acerbic, post-apocalyptic, and death-obsessed lyrics, Firewater was a band to be reckoned with almost from the beginning. | ” |
| “ | Boise-born and Boston-based, Eilen Jewell has quickly distinguished herself as one of the rising stars of a new generation of roots musicians. Her first two albums, Boundary County (self-released, 2006) and Letters from Sinners and Strangers (Signature Sounds, 2007) were astonishingly assured efforts, which matched Jewell's understated yet insightful songs with a rugged blend of Americana styles. They were met with a great deal of acclaim, with No Depression raving Jewell is showing she can wander with the best of them, and write riveting song-stories about her adventures along the way. Indicative of Jewell's strong following in Europe, The Word in the U.K. described her as A voice of real distinction [that] manages to transcend some powerful influences and pierce the fog long enough for her own point of view to emerge. | ” |

| “ | For their fifth album, Brooklyn's Firewater has brought forth a set of covers. Led by bass player and vocalist Tod A, he provides accompanying commentary on why he was drawn to each of the eleven tunes. Except for one, all of the songs are united, in their original form, by a potent emotional voice. This allows Tod's ragged baritone plenty of room to punch and kick against the solid rough-hewn rhythmic underpinnings. The aforementioned exception is Sonny Bono's "The Beat Goes On," which, as written, eschewed depth of character for slight but bright lyrical subservience. Appropriately, Tod was attracted to this number because of its bass line, one of the first he ever learned. Album highpoints include a venomous take on the Beatles "Hey Bulldog" which amp things up at the midpoint, and a dreamy version of Robyn Hitchcock's "I Often Dream of Trains" which brings the disc to a quiet close. | ” |
