"Now a fond memory for residents of Columbia, S.C., Lay Quiet Awhile's edgy Southern punk sound was highlighted by Danielle Howle's powerful voice. Catchy, though simple, guitar work drives a trip through lyrical insanity, stories that you'll want to deconstruct and savor. Lay Quiet Awhile had an accessible, intense sound that shone in live concerts and was reflected in `Delicate Wire.' Howle's quirky personality and South Carolina charm come through in Lay Quiet Awhile's work. If you like the sound of the band, check out Danielle Howle's solo efforts and her new band, the Tantrums."
