"Somewhere along the path of Head Candy, The Dangtrippers, and The Bent Scepters Doug Roberson has learned a thing or two about writing catchy songs. In The Swarays, never was there a better collection of songs that captured the vibe of Midwest summer longing. Check out the frenetic bass in "Airship", the rippling vocals in "Plastic Moon" and the warm strum of "Can't wait forever." Never bought an album you haven't heard on the radio, imagine if Peter Yorn, and the Wallflowers got together and did an album without the glam photos."
