Recent Press:
LoudFarm 6/8/09: "Virginia's The Cinnamon Band aren't going to be label-less for long. An impressively big sound for a stripped down rock duo, the harmonies are gorgeous, the lyrics are fully singable and I've been listening to them all day..."
Denver Daily: Gene's Jams 6/12/09: "The Cinnamon Band from Virginia is touring in support of Handsome Furs and is gaining plenty of momentum of their own..." - Gene Davis
Phrequency: 6/12/09: "...exuberant tunes reminiscent of Big Star or Wilco, tempered with a big, arena rock edge...these guys will be a great addition to the scene!"
- Kate Bracaglia
The Hook 5/14/09: "They're a great two-piece that's starting to get some attention. Their lyrics are some of the best I've heard in a while from anyone. They write catchy songs, but they also do more subdued and serious stuff." - Jamie Sisley, executive with Red Light Management and ATO Records
C-Ville Weekly 4/28/09: "a two-piece band that sounds more like a five-piece, a minimal act whose impact is expansive, all-consuming...drums that only know crescendo, vocal melodies that only know how anthems sound or feel, guitars that set simple patterns and progressions, then look for ways to snap them...barbed like the post-punk of early U2, bombastic as Springsteen's Darkness on the Edge of Town..." - Brendan Fitzgerald
Richmond.com 4/22/09: "I wrote about these guys last week but seriously, I want to drill their name into your collective brains. The Cinnamon Band are going to be huge." - Christy Sheppard
Richmond.com 4/14/09: "I now have a new favorite band...Neil attacked those drums as if he were straight outta Compton...John's vocals reminded me of Springsteen ("Too Cool You") and Jakob Dylan ("Buena Vista") at times. There was not a single weak song in the entire set...I don't think they'll be unsigned (or relatively unknown) for too much longer." - Christy Sheppard
Spin.com 8/22/08: "the Cinnamon Band strutted through a solid set of infectious, driving indie rock..."
- Travis Wright
