If eccentric was a style of rock, Logs in the Mainstream would be its core. Logs in the Mainstream combines rock, punk, funk, world beat, pop, Latin, country and a little of every genre, then spits it back as something all its own.
Always lyrically insightful, a typical Logs theme is self reflective and social conscience from the inside out. Throw in heaps of humor and danceable grooves for girls with one leg shorter than the other and you have music known as Logs style. Logs has amassed a large and dedicated cult following online and in the Northeast area, sharing the stage with Cake, M. Doughty, Alice Donut and Colin Hay.
LOGS IN THE MAINSTREAM REVIEWS:
"Logs in the Mainstream is the only band I've heard in the last ten years that has made me genuinely nostalgic for my youth. The eclectic mix of jazz, smart rock, weird noises, and bizarre sense of humor is what I always thought rock should be like."
musicdish.com
"Logs in the Mainstream are one of the few bands that have the skills and daring to smash record label marketing department barriers, which they ably do on the new CD, their fourth, The Ridiculous and the Sublime."
Musicdish.com
"Logs in the Mainstream are following the current trend in rock music today of mining styles from the past. In this case, though, they are taking forms seldom touched on and recombining them to create something new, or at the very least, something of their own. Pick up on this CD and impress your friends."

"Logs In The Mainstream start out their ?The Ridiculous & The Sublime? with ?Gotta Get Up?, a track that vacillates between sounding as if it came out in the sixties or the nineties. The amount of influences that come forth during the 12 tracks on ?The Ridiculous? are legion; hints of The Beatles (which the cover of this album parodies), Beastie Boys, Anthrax, Jane's Addiction and countless others can all be heard."
NeuFutur Magazine
"Logs In The Mainstream have been around for nearly twenty years (they started in 1990), and show their maturity as an act through the number of styles broached during ?The Ridiculous & The Sublime?. At some point, each of the tracks on this album could be heard on rotation on a major radio station ? there is that much charisma present during the songs on this album. The subject material presented during this track may be off the wall, but listeners will sing along with it just as if it was a serious song. The band takes a ska-punk style to heart during ?If Hitler Had Sideburns?, and it is during this track that the production of the album really is shown to be miles beyond what many punk acts are capable of bringing to the table."
NeuFutur Magazine
"Regardless, each of the tracks is good enough to be a single, and this album will stay strong no matter how many times one listens to it. I was not familiar with Logs In The Mainstream before picking up ?The Ridiculous & The Sublime?, but I know that I will be paying attention to them in the months and years to come. Give the disc a go."
NeuFutur Magazine
"If you like your music quirky, fast paced and gigantic aneurysm inspiring smile worthy, then this is the band for you. Plus? you've got to love those bagpipes."

"LITM seem to have released something here that is both brand spanking new and harking back to a time when music was innocent and music listeners just wanted to shake their asses and listen to the new 45's that were released that week." Andi J Chamberlain - www.subba-cultcha.com
The Ridiculous and the Sublime couldn't be a more perfect title for the latest album by Logs in the Mainstream. The music is clever, tongue-in-cheek, and ever so addictive.
George Dionne - Rock-Is-Life.com
This is not a band to take lightly; they do it for you. Lazlo, a former WDHA (105.5 FM) DJ who now runs blowup.com radio, says ?a Logs show always starts with confusion and laughter but then everyone always seems to dig it. After a few minutes, they get it? and are enthralled.?
?Brilliant, passionately presented concepts? (Bob Makin, Home News Tribune)
?Even if you're bemused by the words from time to time, you'll find yourself humming along and thanking your lucky stars that there are bands like this still out there? (Heidi Drockelman, Indie-Music.com).
?Off the wall mish-mosh of twisted pop-based ditties? (Al Muzer, Aquarian).
