Their catchy, singable tunes mesh sixties-reminiscent melodies with glam-flavored guitar that occasionally drifts into hard rock territory. - WFMU Radio - 91.1 NYC
If you just like pinpoint execution of song writing in a tight and experienced band, then you’ll love The Party Faithful. - Witness Production Program
"After replay number two or three, it becomes easier to pick up on the amount of epic-goodness the band has managed to cram into each track. Nothing feels out of place and there are moments when the band gets into an ecstatic rhythm unmatched by most of their contemporaries." - soundsuck.com
Addictive, tasteful, upbeat indie-pop. - The L Magazine
"Very funky pop band...One to watch." - New York Press
" The band's songwriting skill and onstage energy set them apart from the rest." - A.M. New York
“Everything [they do]… is so direct and elegant, it elicits an almost embarrassing joy in the listener… they’re going somewhere, and my guess is the first stop is your iPod.” - DrinkatWork.com
"An on-the-rise local indie act for fans of melodic, vocal-driven pop." - New York Magazine
It’s a pity Creation Records – the now defunct legendary U.K. indie label – isn’t around to organize a package tour around The Party Faithful with Felt and The House of Love, or maybe the late great Swervedriver. The band’s best new song, “Revolution Fuse,” an optimistic slow builder recalls Morrissey’s glam-rock albums from the early ’90s, with nifty and natural turns of phrase – “Though we are older, the night is young.” - The Day, New London
Arcade Fire instrumentation meets some Killers synth riffs, and their slow stuff had some Sigur Rós influences of darkness fueled by hopeful chords...Amazing stuff. - UV Haze

Bio
Brooklyn's The Party Faithful formed when Patrick Harmon (lead vocals, guitar) and Erica D'Andrea Gray (bass, vocals) combined their affection for post-punk-tinged anthemic rock with their affection for each other (they married soon after). The band has grown to a party of four with the additions of classically trained Karen Hou (piano, vocals) and drummer Pat Morin.
Whether on stage or in the studio, the party pours forth lush emotion, lyrical labyrinths and soaring riffs, winning hearts and minds at shows across the city and along the northeast corridor. Theyve released the rollicking Seven Cycles EP, landed a track on Blast Radius 2009 compilation of Brooklyn bands you need to hear and just completed work on a new album, Gold Light, due out January 26, 2012.
