Quotes from the press:

"Like their name suggests, the Basics' music has a stripped-down, uncomplicated quality. Instead of overdubbed and overprocessed vocals, clear harmonies are the order of the day. Likewise, quiet catchy guitar riffs and thoughtful lyrics take precedence over eardrum splitting feedback."
--BAM Magazine

"The Basics deliver an acoustic sound with wonderful harmonies ... haunting powerful vocals , excellent instrumentation, and passionate performances on every song. I think before long...you and I will be hearing much more from the Basics."
--Release Magazine

"You can't help getting caught up in the Basics' enlightened collage of songs. Definitely worth checking out."
--Stanford Daily

"An immensely satisfying mix of pop and folk...this catchy new release (Haven Road) abounds with self assurance and maturity."
--Intermission Magazine

“Self-produced CDs often sound a bit amiss. But yours (Haven Road) is golden...I really love it.”
--Beth Holland, KFOG 104.5 San Francisco

"I personally love the style of the music as do most college students. Those that like the Indigo Girls and the slower B-52's tunes should flock to this new project."
--Brian D. Fojtasek, DJ, KHRN94.3 FM

"When I Close My Eyes knocked me out of my boxers. You simply blew me away- You're on the top of our playlist."
--90.5 FM WUSC, University of South Carolina
