The Roadside Graves

"My Son's Home is well-stocked with stirring narratives and sketches that just happen to be almost unremittingly obsessed with the crypt. Yet what's really remarkable about the record is the band's ability to treat death from so many different perspectives and with such a widely divergent range of moods and sympathies.There are moments of haunting, fragile stillness here...Perhaps most admirably of all, the Roadside Graves excel at the brave and difficult paradox of suffusing death with life, injecting vivacity and humor into their reflections on mortality." -Pitchfork

"Like The Band before them, the New Jersey group pull from several different genres – country, folk, Cajun, southern gospel, and big-time rock 'n' roll – to produce something that can maybe only be called American Music." -Aquarium Drunkard

"Alt.country rascals Roadside Graves got heavy meta with a jam about "dirt on my lip and blood in my eye" after the singer split his face open with his mic and bled everywhere. I should have taken video because I can't find anything that comes close to the level of musicianship these tatted-up guys guys now display." -Paste Magazine

"Roadside Graves' seven members stamp up a roadhouse-gospel-soul sound with John Gleason's naturally pinched, uneven voice pitched uneasily but tunefully over it. The result is like a more unsettled version of The Felice Brothers, letting lots of raggedy spontaneity seep into the band's folksy, approachable songs."-The Onion AV Club

"Timeless melodies, riveting harmonies and vivid, memorable songwriting. Yes, the Roadside Graves love America; now it's only a matter of time until America returns the favor." -New Jersey Star Ledger
