REVIEWS:
Music Connection - A Five-Song EP from The Defog, a Philly area band, Shows them to be a generator of bright, Shins-y pop-rock (”downstream”) and fronted by a lead vocalist (Charles Stieg) who’s got an appealing tone. “Asterisk” is vaguely Strokes-like due to its poppy momentum and vocal filter effect, while “Calibrated,” with its moog, wulritzer and guitar shimmer, reminds us of Doves. The catchy tunes, tight musicianship and spirited performances deserve a listen. 7.2 out of 10
TAXI - “I hear a lot of music at Taxi, but most of it doesn’t’t come anywhere near to sounding as interesting or exciting as this track (corner stores) does…. What I love most of all is how unique and original the band sounds…” - Ric Menck

Origivations - 5/5 Stars - ” The Defog is not afraid to experiment while creating such well-structured soundscapes…. Vocalist Charles Stieg has such a warm delivery that draws listeners in and welcomes them to his world.”

Overplay.com - “…well-balanced production, superlative musicianship and an appreciation for keeping things short ensures that every note is perfectly deployed. Check out ‘Sounds from the Stars’ if you want to hear something clever, passionate and decidedly different.”

2walls - “…comfortably intelligent and curiously appealing.”
“ Slightly electronic, ‘Downstream’ is a poppy combination of Wilco and the semi-obscure Brit band Talk Talk, while ‘Calibrated’ brews the indie-emo sensibility of Failure with synth hooks once perfected decades ago by The Cars.”

Harrisburg Online
Harrisburg Online - “This debut collection of ten tracks from Philadelphia-based quintet The Defog is a gorgeous amalgamation of exotic vocal melodies and harmonies, surreal yet clever lyrics, and first-rate musicianship….The band’s sense of melody really shines through in songs like ‘Routine,’ which is one of the highlights of the album…Their sound is fresh and exciting, and their material is well written. Believe it or not, their live show is even better than the record! This is definitely one band that any music aficionado should check out.”
