"Punchy, melodic, and even gorgeous at times, they write pop songs that stick in your head and warm up your heart."


Editorial review

Dedicated to friends killed in a drunk-driving accident, this album is honest, poignant, and at times quite pop-oriented. "Glass Houses" is perhaps the best of the lot, a hip-hop/trip-hop beat fuelling the sweet harmonies. Laced with British influences, lead singer Robb Benson joyously reformats Beatles-era riffs over deep lyrical portraits of things sadly left unsaid. "Goodbye my friends/I hope I get the chance to know you again," he sings in "JD's Song." There are a few gaffes, though, notably "Stretch," a confusingly structured song where vocals and music don't quite mesh cohesively. The facetiousness of "A Dear John Letter" characterizes much of the record -- generally intelligent enough to overcome some flaws. ~ Jason MacNeil, All Music Guide

Bio / Background

"Out of nowhere comes Rewriting The Wrongs, and I think I may have found the best album of 2001."

- Alex Green (music.yahoo.com)

"A great full-length from a band that could make a career list out of a struggling major label scout."

- Theodore Defosse (splendid)

"This is very solid indie-pop"

- (CM) Impact Press

"Sublime debut album."

- Joe Ehrbar (Seattle PI)

"Often gentle and wholesome, sometimes acrimonious, Benson's songwriting warmly refers to the Beatles."

- Corianton Hale (The Stranger)

"A pleasing, intelligent collection from a songwriter aiming for both the head and the heart."

- Adam McKibbin (Entertainment Today)

"Somehow they've balanced a contemporary indie aesthetic, an outsider musical genre, and the sounds of one of the most famous musicians of the 20th century into a contemporary album that stands on its own and makes Dear John Letters an act that seems fresh and vital instead of derivative.
