Outside In (Album Review) - Canadian Beats

"captivating melodies, introspective lyrics, and powerful vocal harmonies"

"even amidst the goals and ambition, the whole point of the band is bringing a bit more goodness into the atmosphere"

"Have you ever just stared at a fly trying to escape through the kitchen window and realized that the fly doesn’t know that there’s several alternative routes to get to where it wants to go, so it keeps banging its head against the same window over and over. And then you realize that this is also a metaphor for several situations in your own life… No? Nevermind then."

"jumping from soul-rock to Americana and country influences, the record is a real treasure trove of nostalgic rock"

"Every track on this release has its place and showcases many sides of the band’s sound. Overall, an excellent debut for fans of many genres"

"Grown from casual Friday night jams with friends soon transpired into something more substantial, with songs coming together easily between the four band members"

"Canadian folk rock band The Dust Collectors charm their way into their melodic country tale in “Take A Dive.” Filled with vibrant acoustic rhythms and a vocal storytelling element"

"This is a track which has some superb development – from the addition of the kick and bass in that all-important second verse to the glorious harmonies in the chorus, you cannot help but be swept along by the positive vibes of this track"

"As clever in its storytelling as it is musically catchy, The Dust Collectors sing in their signature four-part harmonies through the song’s refrain"
