Rolling Stone called the band divinely inspired, while Pitchfork praised their rootsy mix of 70s rock and power pop, and The New Yorker lauded their ability to sing it sweet and play it dirty.PAUL MCDONALDPaul McDonalds voice is immediately recognizable and impossible to ignore. Often compared to legends like Rod Stewart and Bob Dylan, the poetic story-driven narratives and deeply catchy hooks in his music are delivered by a raspy yet refined voice reminiscent of another era that demands to be heard right now. He pulls off the rare feat of being a poet, visual artist, songwriter, adamant performer, and a powerful vocalist. Pauls hope is to spread peace, love, and unity through his music. Connection s currently writing for his next album and planning to tour extensively in 2024.
