“Simply the final blow in a stream of gestures that translate across rock & roll forms… There’s an alarming lack of things to find fault with in their music or its execution.”
--Mike Wolf, Time Out New York

“Any Swede in a suit can attempt Stooges theft and make it passable, but these three young American gents do their rock ‘n’ roll right.”
--Jeff Terich, Treble

“Drums that sound like they are played with tree limbs, angry, whiplashed guitars and snarled, over-amped vocals ... A rocket-fueled blast of energy and brains, packed with songs and sounds that will blow you away.”
--Tim Sendra, All Music

Awesome Color’s debut full-length is a mother of a scorched groover. Just check out the track “Free Man,” it says it all. Primal o-mind rhythm with boss-bliss lyrix and a lead guitar lick-lashing that’ll have you cryin’ “hell yes!” every time.

Awesome Color came out of Ann Arbor, Michigan where singer and guitarist Derek Stanton grew up across the street from Scott “Rock Action” Asheton of The Stooges. Needless to say he picked up a few things about rock ‘n’ roll around the neighborhood, things he’ll never forget. When the time was right, Stanton, drummer Allison Busch and bassist Michael Troutman jumped in a bombed out car and headed for Brooklyn, New York. And began to blow minds.

Live, they transfix with heavy, cosmic guitars and a rhythm section like a freight train. When they play, they’re often joined by brothers and sisters grabbing instruments and getting loud: bare foot guitar solos, sax in the aisles and wolf dancing all around.
