"Music nowadays seems to fall in to four categories; it should be thrown into the air, buried in the ground, sunk into the ocean or set on fire. Dehra Dun seems to fall into a category all of its own. Instead of slamming the hard guitar riffs into the back of your skull, they ease themselves into the quite recesses of your mind, with ballads that rise with the emotion instilled in the lyrics. Well-placed rhythm and bass lines let the music flow with the world around you. Now, as we all know, the percussive foundation is the basis of a song, and the percussions on this particular EP are put together with more thought then "keep the beat going". Very few bands let the drums be played as more than a metronome, and it is refreshing to have substance within such a integral part of the music. Factories, a song on their debut EP, is a powerful song that stirs your mind, moves your soul, and leaves you feeling quite euphoric. I recommend this album for anyone. What this band has created is something anyone can embrace for one reason or another. I suggest you walk around your city with headphones and tea, but that's just me. ~Nicholas David Wilcox"

"These guys combine a number of sounds which will make you wanna move along with the music as well as listen to their thought-provoking lyrics. From Jeremiah's enchanting vocals to Joey's contagious rhythyms you wont be able to stop listening, because you'll hear something new every time and the music will come to have more meaning to you. Though better live, their album couldn't better represent what they are all about! Buy one for yourself and experience it, then buy one for everyone you know and let them in on the melt.
