“A clever mix of Bob Mould’s alienated sonics and Ray Davies’s catchy hooks… mixes the alternative toughness of the late-80&#39;s Minneapolis music scene and the lyrical and infectious melodicism of succeeding British invasion bands.”
– New York Times

“Early Edison evokes the halcyon days of British cutting-edge rock, incorporating Clash and Kinks inspirations.”
