AMG rates this album **** (four stars) Here's an excerpt from the review: "...Joshes [sic] Dodes Band turns in a surprisingly accomplished debut album with Get Up. Made up of equal parts funk blues tracks and brittle solo ballads, the album is winning almost from start to finish...a strong, exciting album that holds up no matter how big a flickerstick [whatever that is] one waves at it. - Tim DiGravina

CD Reviews

Impressive!

"Great indie release from a indie band. I saw very little of them from VH1's Bands on the Run, but I didn't care too much for the remaining (and untimately winning) bands.I get the impression that Josh Dodes could have gotten some lessons from Billy Joel or Elton John. There's good qualities of good music in here. Funk, blues, and insightful lyrics.Don't let the lack of lead guitars fool you -- some of the greatest rock artists were led by pianists -- Jerry Lee Lewis, Billy Joel, Elton John and many others...Hope to see more from Josh Dodes in the future..."

Great Cd

"Very cool CD. If you're looking for something different and especially if you're a fan of funk and keyboards. Great harmonies on the singing as well. Forget the silly TV show and check out a very original band and sound."

Imagine Dave Matthews played a blues piano...

"With this unique blend of blues, pop, and rock, The Josh Dodes Band packs an infectious energy. You will find yourself humming the catchy songs like "Be my Friend, But Be Naked" and "Rhinorocerous." You'll be jumping around the house or dancing in your car to "The On & On" and "White collar Cowboy." And you'll recognize the true talent in Josh's voice and fingers with the slower tracks like "Looking Back at You.""

Get up & pay attention to the Josh Dodes Band!

"I didn't hear about the Josh Dodes Band until I saw them on VH1's "Band on the Run". They really stood out as a TRULY TALENTED group-- they're a mixture of a funk/soul/blues/rock backed up by the talented Josh Dodes' keyboard skills and incredible voice. With songs like "Be My Friend, But be Naked", "Rhinoceros", "The On & On" and "White Collar Cowboy", it is no wonder that they already have a rabid following in NYC. I'm just disappointed that my favorite song of theirs, "Wasted By The Door", isn't on this CD. Hopefully I'll get the chance to see them live, but for now, this album is more than enough to tide me over... Highly Recommended!!"

"Hey, I am the King of Goth-metal. I live in Chicago, and I love Bands on the Run!! At first, I thought Harlow was the best. (Hey, who can't beat Soulcracker's annoying power-pop of Flickerstick's Everclear stylings?) Then, my friend gave me a CD of "Get Up." ( I used to love funk.) I put it on, and I loved it! I've seen 3 of their shows. Every time they bring the house DOWN!! They rock! They should never have been kicked off of "BOTR" 'cause they're awesome! Great musicianship. The first time I saw them on VH1, they seemed kinda geeky. Then I heard the CD. Here's a quick review of each song:1. American Angel: Cool lyrics, great keyboarding and vocals. 2. Judith Dancing: More rhythm section interplay, Awesome bass, piano, and drums. 3. Be My Friend, But Be Naked: Popping Organ, tongue-in-cheek lyrics. Just great. 4. Looking Back At You: Josh's best singing on the album. And like the Black Crowes, their ballads [are always good]. 5. Rhinorocerous: One of the catchiest songs on the CD. Interplay between all the band members. Cohesive, yet rockin'. 6. The On & On: Definitely a great song to dance to. Really great singing. 7. Do the Do: Great on CD. Really great hooks, great sound. Always a highlight live. 8. Windows: Josh's solo ballad. Creative piano and vocals, really sad lyrics about homelessness. 9. The Cradle: The CD's best tune, without a doubt. So catchy, danceable, great bass, drums, vocals. The highlight of "Get Up" is in the middle of this song, with this awesome funk keyboard playing that sounds like a guitar. An instant classic. 10. White-Collar Cowboys: Great drumming. Another gem with great vocals and cool bass. 11. Fat Jack's Blues: Bluesy hooks, Cool keyboard playing (as usual), plus some unique harmony.Also awesome are some songs that aren't on "Get Up," but they rock when they're played live: "Freak," "Justine," "Parker Street," and "Wasted by the Door." There might be a few I'm probably forgetting. Go see them live and buy "Get Up" 'cause it rocks!..."
