“Fans of smart catchy and driving rock may have a new favorite with Sean Brown” -Curran Faris, The Uniter. - The Uniter
The album’s lead track Only Human (featuring Stephen Carroll of The Weakerthans) is “..an energized, reverb drenched pop/rock song that rings with guitar-fuelled conviction.” John Kendle - Uptown Magazine. - uptown magazine
“Though Brown is a solid picker, it’s his voice –which bears echoes of pixies weirdo Frank Black- that really comes through on the lilting Oh Life and radio friendly Only Human”. David Schmeichel-Winnipeg Sun. - The winnipeg sun
"On his debut full length, Winnipeg songwriter Sean Brown sounds confident, urgent and relevant. Sonically, "ready fire aim" wouldn't be out of place next to you Ryan Adams or Foo fighter records. but Brown's sound is unique and it sets him apart from the many cookie cutter bands out there. Most striking on "ready fire aim" is Brown's songwriting ability. With each song having its own distinct flavor.... although its diverse, the album is cohesive too." - the uniter

Recorded in Winnipeg, Manitoba ready fire aim stays true to the indie rock tradition of minimal instrumentation and live off the floor recordings.
