Search - FEAR OF COMMITMENT :: Paper Dolls And Paper Plates

Folk Rock Lives!

"For those who yearn for the heyday of folk rock, this CD has it all. 'Absolutely Everything' is reminiscent of early 10,000 Maniacs, 'Wrong Face' could easily have made it on to the Indigo Girls' Strange Fire, and I think 'Not You' even has an retro Smiths feel to it. If you're tired of all of the cookie cutter groups on the radio today, listen to this and see why grass roots is where it's at!"

I never tire of this CD!

"There is something about this CD that makes it possible for me to play it incessantly and never tire! Maybe its that same something that causes me to catch myself humming the tunes of the poignant song Wrong Face while waiting in line. The CD Paper Dolls and Paper Plates is a magnificent find for anyone looking to hear the warm, deep voice of Sarah Knab flow beautifully over the rhythmic harmonies of the guitars, cellos, and organs of the rest of the band. Fear of Commitment successfully sings about loves gone wrong, yet avoids the ever-annoying whining that is present in so much of today's music. It jumps from the slow, almost whimsical sound of Thirteen Years to the upbeat Times Have Changed."
