Editorial Reviews

Bordering on super-group status with members of Illinois power-pop masterminds THE COPYRIGHTS and Minneapolis Weasel-worshippers RIVETHEAD, Dear Landlord carry the torch high, burning brightest when they step to the mic together for anthemic choruses cut by snotty leads and broken wrists flying at breakneck speeds.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Love this album!

    I just found out about this band. Normally I do a lot of looking into the music before I buy/download it. I watched videos on youtube and listened to the music on Myspace. After downloading it from Amazon and listening to this album for a few days I really eff'n dig it!!

    Fast, loud guitars, dual killer vocals. Just listened to the samples and that'll give you a good idea of what to expect. There's only one song on here I don't care for, which is Whiskey & Records, not for any certain reason just not into it.
    But I love this damn album. So glad I found them online. Hope they come out with a new album soon!

    Also look into The Flatliners or Off with their heads.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Solid Punk CD

    OK, so you can hear the influence of the Copywrites but this is still a good and solid punk effort. The songs have a driving beat, the vocals actually sound like someone is carrying a tune, and this delivers. It's a CD of good punk songs. Nothing more, nothing less.

    For fans of The Copyrights or Banner Pilot should definatley check this band out. Great catchy punk music that explores liquor abuse and poverty.

    Dear Landlord is a modern Punk Rock Super Group with members of the Copyrights, Rivethead, Off With Their Heads. Their sound is extremely similar to The Copyrights. They are from Carbondale, Illinois.

    Dear Landlord's Dream Homes has been a long time coming. They released split seven inch records with Off With Their Heads and Chinese Telephones and created quite a buzz for themselves. Dear Landlord are a Punk Rock "Super Group" with members of The Copyrights, Off With Their Heads, and Rivethead (who have reached cult status among Pop Punkers). Unfortunately like most "Super Groups" they fail to live up to the hype. Two of the four members of Dear Landlord are members of The Copyrights, and that is what Dream Homes sounds like...a Copyrights album. If you were to present Dream Homes to me as a Copyrights album I wouldn't question you. For the most part Dream Homes is a slightly, and I mean SLIGHTLY, different version of The Copyrights (think of a faster version). I can also hear a dash of Screeching Weasel and a dash of Off With Their Heads. If you love The Copyrights and their style of Pop Punk then you will love this album. If you are like me and you think The Copyrights are a decent band but nothing more you will probably be disappointed.

    The Song by Song Review is 71%, but the overall review is a 73% because the album is consistent throughout...if nothing else.
