absolutepunk.net said this about our record:
"Diversity is a wonderful thing. If there is one thing I’ve continuously harped upon in my past reviews, it’s that to be enjoyable for the entirety of an album a band must be able to change things up every now and then. Few bands are able to stray from their core sound while still retaining a certain level of quality throughout. Telephone & Telegraph do an admirable job of pulling this off on their release North South East West. Telephone & Telegraph are a rock band with a heavy southern flair; probably the best way to describe them is as a more upbeat Lucero or a less gritty Nothington.
“Sea Legs” makes for easily the best song on the album. “All the Kids Are Gonna Hate Us” follows suit and shows the band picking up speed to completely revitalize the album. Track nine, “Lost and Found,” brings out the harmonica and shows the band is able to pull of the slower sound suitably well. “’Neath the Sycamore Tree” closes things out with a haunting tone not shown on the rest of the album. However, as a closer it works perfectly and is a fitting end to North South East West.
Telephone & Telegraph are a promising band with plenty of room to grow. Their ability to stay well within their southern rock home while at the same time making their music interesting is not something to be overlooked. They seem to have a good grip on something that seems to elude and consequently hinder many otherwise great bands.
