She’s A Dreamer
Press
This is melody-dripping guitar pop at its finest.
Paul Smith, Sydney Morning Herald
Bands from The Church to the Dandy Warhols have done the ’60s-through-a-psychedelic-haze thing very well but, in 2009, you won’t hear many doing it with the verve and focus – and the sweaty energy – of Grand Atlantic
Noel Mengel, Courier Mail – 4.5 stars
With shimmering guitars that give way to seductive melodies.. enthralling and stunning new album
PowerPop Overdose
Grand Atlantic’s second full-length album is a fairly chock-full plate of pop rock, with big sounds, singalong hooks and catchy melodies… How We Survive is a masterfully crafted record.
Time Off Magazine
This is the excellent album Oasis should have done after What’s the Story Morning Glory but didn’t
Lucid Culture, USA
A joyride of dense, churning guitars that sounds like Primal Scream getting Spiritualized!–
L.A. Times
“How We Survive” is out to impress and Grand Atlantic is taking no prisoners. Uncompromising in songwriting quality and recording expertise (the record was mixed by Magoo, whose clientele include Midnight Oil and Powderfinger). Sonically, “How We Survive” sounds terrific. More important, many of the songs also sound terrific, well-written and harboring to-the-point melodies that aim to grab you quick.
Now This ROCKS!
