Press
Anthemic.
A hometown cult following and pockets of hardcore fans scattered throughout the country.
Few do it with the style and imagination of Hallelujah the Hills. [It's] is a blast from start to finish, every minute packed with hooky twists and turns. Mastermind Ryan Walsh can write a hell of a chorus, too, hitting plenty of Pollard-ian, singalong sweet spots over the album’s 12 tunes.

Pretty much as close to perfect as any band/artist could ever hope to get.
Infuses euphoric melodies with lyrical wit and imagination
This is maybe the smartest music you will ever hoist a beer to
This is a brilliant record.
Dizzying, heaving at its brim, full of ideas both lyrical and musical
Another giant step forward
Easily my favourite rock and roll album of the year
It might just take the enduring strength of their forthcoming full-length Have You Ever Done Something Evil? to bring their long-deserving recognition.
Put on this song, shut up, and kiss someone.
