Album Description

Inhabiting space somewhere between Spoon and Interpol, Robbers schizophrenically mix fast paced dance rock with sinister melodies that pull in different directions. Intelligent, atmospheric, and perfectly off kilter.

5 out of 5 stars A little New York love for the Robbers.......2007-02-03

I have listened to this EP quite a few times now and I do think that Ben Trokan's delivery sometimes sounds like Britt Daniel's (from Spoon), but I can't honestly fool myself into thinking that it's Spoon performing. The Robbers have their own sound, despite the vocal similarities. The one slow song, Opal Ann, has piano that carries the melody softly & sweetly. The other 5 songs, all fast rockers, sound almost like they could make it to regular radio, but honestly, who wants THAT nowadays? Sticking to indie label spirit & domain, the band can later change style, experiment with words & music, instead of being pigeon-holed & dictated by the hand of the big label. It's a promising early EP with an addicting sound for fans of guitar/piano/male-singer rock music. Great modern sound; can't wait to hear their 2007 offerings.

3 out of 5 stars Robbers On SPOON Street.......2005-02-22

I think this is a really good CD, but unfortunately, Robbers On High Street sound EXACTLY like the band SPOON (Austin, TX).

I was given a copy of Fine Lines and had to remove it from my CD player and inspect the label to assure myself this wasn't SPOON's Britt Daniel singing! Its uncanny!! That being said, I guess its better that ROHS sounds like SPOON, than say, Limp Biskit of Nickelback.

For anyone who's never heard SPOON, try picking up Girls Can Tell, Kill the Moonlight, or the EXCELLENT Soft Effects ep (if you can find it). SPOON's been around for more than 10 years & with each successive release has grown into easily the Best Band in Texas (IMHO).

Don't get me wrong -- were it not for them being SPOON-alikes, I think this CD would easily warrant 4+ stars. As it is, I'll give it 3. Still a good CD, just a tad too familiar...

I can't wait to hear the new stuff!

5 out of 5 stars Best EP you've never heard!.......2004-11-26

Think early pavement meets Belle and Sebastian...their full length will be very welcomed! You cannot miss with this one.

5 out of 5 stars Short & Sweet.......2004-05-25

The idea that this cd is only 6 tracks long shouldn't scare you from buying it. Very good sound from these guys...haunting melodies and powerful guitars.

3 out of 5 stars if only it hadn't been done before.......2004-04-24

This CD would be quite exciting if it weren't for the fact that they sound EXACTLY like Spoon. ROHS is a good band, but everything they do well is done better by Spoon. The singer even sounds exactly like Britt Daniel. It's weird.

5 out of 5 stars wondfrful alt. country with her heart and soul laid bare........1999-07-25

I was lucky enough to see her live recently and she came across as powerful as she does on the album.The band led by Craig snyder was unreal.

5 out of 5 stars A distinctive and beautiful voice whose words ring true........1999-07-03

As a first release this collection of songs is well worth listening to. The lyrics are unique to the artist who introduces us to characters that spark the imagination as well as memories. Stories about broken relationships, crazy miners losing out to civilization, and in a stark and wrenching fashion, death. Cynthia Barber's voice is both fragile and full of steel: giving us that high lonesome sound at times. The instrumentation combines modern electronica and traditional folk which crafts a folk tale/Twin Peaks world which can be visited over and over again. I highly recommend this first ep.

          With style and grace, Calico Winds is taking wind music to the forefront of the chamber music world by artfully reinventing the conventional wind quintet. They chose the name "Calico" to reflect the multi-colored timbres of the combination of flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and horn. The ensemble blends top-notch playing, great music and an appealing atmosphere. In this recording, Calico Winds incorporates a broad spectrum of musical styles all in one collection, displaying many tone colors and sound textures all in one ensemble.

            So you say you want some fun pop music that does not suck? So you say you want some sassy rock that has the fun bop that makes you want to pogo in place like a demented Peanuts character at Christmas time? Well, then brothers and sisters have I got a hot trio for you. Musically, Thee Fine Lines are best described as garage that is neither major league record mogul nor pretentious poser emo. While the guitar does not alternate much between its rough and raw punch it's the vocals of its player that will appeal to many a rocker. The production is somewhere in the mid-fi, guitar turned way up, bass ringing with the drums, vocals sounding distorted in the mix. It truly sounds like they are playing in their garage for their friends
