Praise for The M's
"The M's capture that glorious moment when the British Invasion bands of the '60s were still grappling with their love of R and B while flirting with the more sophisticated harmonies and hooks of classic pop songwriting." -Greg Kot, Chicago Tribune
"The four M's call Chicago home, but with their fuzzy riffs and psychedelic melodies, they could be mistaken for a bunch of British tunesmiths by the names of Ray Davies, Damon Albarn, Marc Bolan, and John Lennon." -Spin
"Vox-tastic guitar and organ riffs and street- corner shuffling beats and fills... Every tune is tailored to a stylist's specs and put forth with ease." -Rolling Stone.com
"Guitars might have the angularity of And Your Bird Can Sing, the flash and crash of Pictures Of Lily and a general freakbeat crackle. Melodies twist and turn, strings phase in and out, bells chime. All this ambition coagulates into an irresistible, tumbling, tune filled whole." -MOJO
