Definitely a band to watch

"It's hard to do justice to Veal in any simple description. Terms like power-pop or post-punk are as inevitable as they are inaccurate, although a quirky, genial mix of the two is right on target. "Tilt O'Whirl" obstinately follows its own slack muse through balladry, gloom, boogie, pop, and anything else that fell off the table the night before. Defining moments: the fake blues of "Po' Black Child" is a borderline offense - and all the cooler for it - and "Skid" is better Ben Folds than Ben Folds probably ever thought possible."
