A revelation in modern rock music

"Dynamic arrangements, compelling vocals, and haunting melodies mark this delightfully engaging pre-release EP from the remarkable new modern rock band, Fellow. Perfectly balancing full-throttle intensity with profound intimacy, this release, aptly entitled "EP" is sure to win over many listeners.



Although this compilation contains recordings originally intended as demos for enthusiastic supporters and prospective record labels, what you find upon hearing the five-track project is a surprisingly mature collection of songs from an up-and-coming young band.



For fans of modern rock music, who crave songs that will uplift the soul, Fellow is a revelation. Brimming with life and meaning, the songs, written by Fellow front-woman, Johanna Miller, speak to life issues in a fresh and significant way. And, while it is all too common for artists, gifted in lyrical introspection, to allow their music to become tied down by the weightiness of their subject matter, such is not the case here. In fact, these songs are musical gems; each staying with the listener long after the music has ended.



Astute fans will pick up this EP while it's still available, as it should quickly become a collector's item now that Fellow is poised to significantly broaden their base, having been picked up by an energetic indie record label. And, while we all await the forthcoming full-length debut studio album, the available MP3s serve as the perfect appetizer for what is sure to be a delicious main course.
