"Reverbed-out garage rock from the fertile contemporary DC punk scene; MC5-influenced without being a tired rehash." - Bandcamp

"Before you squander another brain wave wondering whether rock-and-roll is still alive, ask yourself a better question: Is rock-and-roll still weird? That’s the most telling vital sign. When music sounds truly strange, it often means that the players — and the listeners — are communing with the unknown. For Bless, strangeness isn’t a pose." - The Washington Post

"I want to hang out in this band’s teenage wasteland. The buoyant, fist-raising riffs belong on a Raspberries album. The pouty vocals of Luke Reddick belong in a John Waters movie. The filtered, high-pitched background vox of bassist Danny Saperstein are too angelic for this world. This seven-inch makes me want to shotgun a Tecate and hop into a ball pit." - Washington City Paper

Winnie b/w Burn Blue
by Flasher

supported by 5 fans who also own “Bless”

Catchy as covid jangle-garage-punk that is kinda one part The Fall, one part Talking Heads post-punk parts, one part La Sera, one part Felt and a lot parts an almost Slumberland Records penchant for incredibly memorable choruses. brantly

Coriky
by Coriky

supported by 4 fans who also own “Bless”

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
