Search - Jonathan Mudd :: Truth Lies

Tasty pop/rock with substance

"If you dig heartland rock a la Tom Petty, smart guitar-based power pop in the vein of Del Amitri, and radio-ready hard-rocking guitar riffs with a touch of the majestic, you should give this album a listen. Big guitar hooks and sticky melodies, along with finely wrought lyrics devoid of faux hipster irony by a talented singer, songwriter and guitarist who clearly understands the history of the forms he's exploring. Mudd knows the value of vulnerability and nuance as counterpoint to a meaty guitar hook. "Run Amelia" and "Take it Back" are rocking standouts, but the entire album is strong and worth many a listen."

"Killer tunes..."

""Introducing Jonathan Mudd! This guy writes some killer tunes. `Run Amelia' has the making of a true hit. `If You Ever Leave Me' and `Somewhere The Night' are freaking great songs. I am stunned." - Shockwave Magazine, March 2010"
