Synopsis

Album Description

Smother Magazine Says: "Pat Ortman's voice reminds me of Michael Stipe's to some degree. The music is a blend of indie and modern rock and a good one at that. In fact a previous online-only CD got to #2 on mp3.com's charts so that should tell you something of how despite having an indie-stripped-down sound it was popular among the mainstream. The same holds true with the self-titled release as well. The bluesy "Worried About Selling Out" is by far my favorite. The lyrical content is another great asset to this wonderfully light-sounding-yet-intelligent-inside release."

CD Reviews

Big Guitars Sing!

"In 1994 I worked at the Illinois Entertainer. I came across Pat Ortman's very first demo tape. It was OK, for a homemade cassette. It was raw, and he was really young and green back then. I tossed it in a pile. Flash forward to 2002, and I get a call from an old friend from a Chicago radio station. Evidently, this new Pat Ortman CD is out and it's getting played and requested. Hey, Pat- congratulations and it's good to hear what happened when you grew up. My favorite tracks are: Tomorrow IS Never Going To Be Your Fault and All Must Go To Sleep. Rock on!"
