"I liked Weston before i got this, and it made them my absolute most favorite band. "Matinee" and its segue into "In April Sometime" make them 2 of my most favorite songs ever. they always give me chills, and no matter what is wrong with my life, this record makes me see the happiness that lies sometimes just below the surface. the only thing better than this album is Weston live."

Weston: music from the soundtrack Matinee

"Pennsylvania's Weston deliver a superb indie rock effort with 'Matinee.' From the opening note of "Opening Chord" to the unique fade-out of "Radio," Weston ruminate on indie rock, girls, indie rock, and, well....girls. If pressed for a specific style I suppose "power-pop" would work. The songs are melodic yet they still rock. 'Matinee' showcases Weston's chief strength: their vocal harmonies. The melancholic "Uninspiring" and "Lonely When I'm With You" are a welcome contrast to more upbeat numbers like "Record Shop" and "Next To You At Night." "Indie Rock Star" is definitive Weston: clever lyrics, melodic guitars, strong vocals, and a catchy chorus that will bounce around inside your head for hours. A great song from a great album."
