You might recognize members of local indie-pop band Conversations from the similarly titled Conversations With Enemies. The former is an offshoot of the latter – including founding members Josh and Jessica Craft, also of education nonprofit Rock to the Future – but the new band maintains the same beachy surf-rock sound that listeners fell in love with before. Their new song “Falling For You” is a fun little ditty about love for and infatuation with another guy’s girl: “I’ll be there when you’re down, when he’s not around…” Listen below. - WXPN's THE KEY
"But don't forget about the other band that will be performing on Thursday - Conversations.A surfy indie band from Philadelphia, Conversations writes thoughtful and fun lyrics on top of a sea of summery rock grooves. Captivating harmonies and catchy hooks create songs about life, friends, and love. " - Stamford Downtown's Hamlethub
Conversations offers the same cheery indie pop energy you’ve come to expect of the pair, but trades CWE’s horns and Eastern stomp for a low-key, folksy twang that puts the focus back on Craft’s wordy, confessional-style lyrics. This Saturday they celebrate the release of debut record Totally Redeem Yourself with a release party at PhilaMOCA — show up early for two openers that were also once a part of awesome bands (and still rule now): Dead Milkmen Joe Jack Talcum plus Dogs on Acid (featuring members of Algernon Cadwallader).

It is obvious that this group was meant to entertain. Their presence immediately loosened up the audience. If there is one word to describe this group it would be FUN. Standing still while listening to this four-piece crew is not an option. - Jump Philly
