"British rock, with an American tang, naturally. We loved it." "Influenced by legendary artists such as the Beatles, the Ramones, Led Zeppelin, and the Clash, Fingerling proves that a rock album can still leave a dent in the music world today. If you enjoy music that won't make you depressed, but do exactly the opposite, definitely look into this album." "STEVE BUSCEMI braved Arctic temperatures to hear the Ed Fingerling Group rock the house at a packed Mercury Lounge Saturday night." "Fingerling understands and embraces the journeyman approach to art, in which the artist spends a great deal of time mastering the intricacies and nuances of the form in which he's interested, and then employs that knowledge in the furtherance of that form. It's a model that served as the basis for some of the greatest works of art in the history of civilization. The attention that Fingerling has paid to the history of rock shows in every measure of the album. An impressive brand of melodic classic rock, I enjoyed the hell out of it." "Hailing from NYC, the marvelously-monikered Mr. Fingerling writes nicely-honed, hook-ridden melodic songs in the classic rock vein. Expect great things. " "From NYC, here doing solo acoustic shows in support of his recent eponymous EP. It features fresh, tuneful songs of social and political substance, sung with sincerity, style, and swagger. Fans of John Lennon, Joe Strummer, Marvin Gaye, and Jim Morrison will not be disappointed. " "Singer-songwriter Ed Fingerling, former Ultrafine and Oral Groove bassist, will be doing his solo guitar thing. Which is a straight-up rock thing, done quite well, in fact." "Fans of solo Beatles, Paul Weller, and Lenny Kravitz will truly dig Ed Fingerling." "To inspire people to be better humans, kinder and more peaceful, is the motivation behind the majority of the songs. To say that those are worthwhile goals would be a major understatement: I firmly believe that art can change a person's perspective. Built on Hendrix-style riffs, a Zeppelin-esque crunch, and put together with a certain modern-rock clarity, his songs resemble early Lenny Kravitz. There are moments here that really shine."
