What they're saying about "Bitter One": Blistering and melodic...The elements of power pop, blues, hard rock, and Americana are still there, but woven seamlessly into the musical tapestry. Bitter One is a well-honed, rollicking piece of good old-fashioned rock n' roll that should make fans out of anybody with an appreciation for smart lyrics, fun rock and excellent musicianship. ~ Jason Mendelsohn, Playlist The Wide Awakes are the best kind of rock band: simple, tight, and smart. "Bitter One" has echoes of jam-band intensity with a straightforward and agressive focus on concise, pop-based songs. Think moe crossed with the Replacements. Lead vocalist and songwriter Tim Bueter is a crafty composer and the band stays effectively in pocket on every cut. Good stuff from a Toledo band that plays with fiery energy. ~ Rod Lockwood, Toledo Blade "Bitter One" is filled with the kind of raucous, fuzzed-out guitar pop that'll make it seem like the heartbreak summer of your senior year no matter how cold it gets outside. ~ Keith Bergman, Toledo Free Press Wide Awakes Press: The Maumee Mirror Newspaper, July, 2006 Toledo Idol, Fox Toledo News, March 14, 2006 The BG News, September 30, 2005 The BG News (Part 2), September 30, 2005 The Toledo Free Press, June 22, 2005 The Mirror Newspaper, April, 2005 The Toledo City Paper, April 15, 2004 The Toledo City Paper, March 11-17, 2004 The Glass Eye, March 2004 The Wide Awakes are: Tim Bueter - Vocals, Music/Lyrics Brandon Boltz - Bass Adam Renchen - Drums Liz Owens Boltz - Rhythm Guitar | |||
