State of Mind Magazine, 5/2007
"But while the world may be at its most desolate and chaotic turning point, SeepeopleS has released their best and most focused album to date, embodying an ambitious band on the rise with an aggressive and edgier vision." Read this review...

Amplifier Magazine, 5/2007
"The title track's toy piano intro recalls "Pop Goes the World" then gets more serious with a blend of guitars, odd instrumentation, and semi-electronic percussion. The unusual juxtaposition pays off -- so much so that when Bradford finally croons, "I feel like the Apocalypse Cow/I'll sacrifice myself right here and now," you almost understand what he's trying to say. Almost." Read this review...

The Laurel Magazine, 4/2007
"Lyrically, the cd is thought-provoking and fascinating. Some songs could almost have been lifted from a Ray Bradbury tale (Someday Robots, Apocalypse Cow) while other seem painfully personal (Already Laughing, Battle Cry). The songs on the record are woven together seamlessly, driving home the point that the global is personal and vice versa. A rich tapestry of words and music, Apocalypse Cow Vol. I is a bit like Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band for the end times." Read this review...

The Huntsville Times, 2/2007
"Their first single is "Apocalypse Cow" - an inside joke with fans - and the video for the song is a hoot. The guys are performing on a stage, all their instruments are made of cardboard, and lead singer Will Bradford is wearing an Army hat." Read this review...

The Post Independent, 4/2007
"There is a great story I could tell you about a night in Kansas that involved dwarves, a medieval fighting tournament and a mail-order bride from China. The story is neither perverted nor grotesque, and is entirely true, but far too long to sum up in the pages of this newspaper. Ask me about it sometime in person." Read this interview...

The Daily Times, 1/2007
"The band takes the various influences of its individual members and combines them into a tasty cocktail that goes down smooth, slightly fizzy and definitely delicious. It's not easy to classify, but like a good stiff drink, sometimes it's best not to ask what's in it — just enjoy the taste and the afterglow and order another." Read this review...

Music Nation, 12/2006
"Step aside Deathcab, Arcade Fire, Modest Mouse and the rest of the indie rock royalty, because we've got something very special. Seriously, unique without being confrontational, Seepeoples are a band to watch." Read this review...

Northeast Performer Magazine, 3/2007
"SeepeopleS’ music is a collage of styles. At times they play math rock, and at others they launch into synth-heavy jams. Drummer Tim Haney offered an impressive, fast-tempo break beat in “Butchers,” reminiscent of a drum ‘n’ bass track." Read this review...

ThirdWorldStruggle blog, 4/2007
"This album demonstrates not only the band’s exemplary application of wordplay, but their musical aptitude as well." Read this review...

Playback, 4/2007
"It's kind of refreshing to come across a band that thoroughly defies categorization. Asheville, N.C.-based SeepeopleS is a little bit indie, a little bit rock, a little bit pop, a little bit funk." Read this review...

Marquee Magazine, 3/2007
"With influences ranging from Radiohead, The Beta Band, Wilco and more, SeepeopleS has a resulting eclectic sound, firmly planted in rock but ready, willing and able to go beyond that foundation." Read this interview...

Jambands.com, 3/2007
"Imagine Summerteeth-era Wilco writing its own Living with War and you'll have a sense of what Will Bradford and his Asheville, NC-based band are up to here." Read this review...

Homegrown Music Network, 2/2007
""Apocalypse Cow" was next, and if there's one song in the band's repertoire that could land them in heavy rotation, this is it. Catchy lyrics through and through, a bombastic chorus, and a candy-coated pop shell make this tune one of their most formidable." Read this review...

Homegrown Music Network, 4/2007
"After hearing this album, the senseless garbage that most people consider "music" goes from laughable to enraging." Read this review...

Sea of Tranquility, 4/2007
"With plenty of catchy hooks and memorable melodies, in addition to solid instrumentation, this latest release from SeepeopleS might be one of the strongest psychedelic/progressive tinged pop releases this year. Add in the roots/folk element and you have a pretty damn unique platter here." Read this review...

Chicago Innerview, 4/2007
"And this album proves a band that doesn't take life too seriously can view its music earnestly. Apocalypse Cow considers the listeners' needs and desires to hear fresh, new tracks..." Read this review...

Daily News, 3/2007
"Judging by "Apocalypse Cow," the jam band classification went out the window years ago. More akin to bands like Radiohead or Pink Floyd, with a streak of reggae rhythm here and there, Seepeoples writes smart, dense, deeply melodic songs." Read this review...

Homegrown Music Network, 3/2007
"I Hope we never mellow out...the world needs to wake the fuck up! Music can change the world if people listen." Read this interview...

Cincinnati City Beat, 4/2007
"The disc contains 17 tracks' worth of the band's grand, emotive (and occasionally political) Pop Rock, best exhibited on the tight, jaunty Indie Pop title-track, which comes off like a mix of The Shins and Sunny Day Real Estate. But that's just a fraction of the band's sound -- "Once a Dream" is minimal, ambient balladry, while "Holding" is a dirtier slice of Garage-y melodics, with synth swooshes and a somewhat psychedelic varnish." Read this review...

Daily Tribune, 4/2007
"The album plays like multiple albums in one, leaving you to wonder 40 minutes in whether you're still listening to the same band. A sign that it lacks cohesion? Far from it. Instead, it shows a range that the band has seemed to acquire for its third album, set for release Tuesday." Read this review...

The Mountain Times, 5/2007
"The band, led by singer-songwriter Will Bradford, has found a niche making exciting, tuneful and occasionally humorous music for the masses. SeepeopleS' latest release is the sprawling album Apocalypse Cow, a beautiful collection of original songs that touch on the themes of love, war, spirituality and personal tragedy." Read this interview...

Celebrity Cafe, 4/2007
"The title might sound exotic to some and it might dissuade listeners from giving the band and the album a chance, but that would be a severe miscalculation, because they would miss out on the tender melodies, tuneful vocals and brilliant instrument play throughout the record." Read this review...

The Portland Press-Herald, 3/2007
"They are one of those bands that don't necessarily sound like, but remind me in a blissful way of, bands such as the Pixies, the Shins or maybe Morphine. And I thought of all that before I read those names among their influences, which doesn't make me super cool, but it certainly does them." Read this review...

The Mountain Xpress, 2/2007
"Love them or hate them, the jam-techno-experimental-rock-whatever band SeepeopleS are one of the most critically recognized groups to call Asheville home." Read this review...

Lawrence.com, 4/2007
"Psychedelic sounds and visuals collide in the wonderfully warped universe of SeepeopleS. The North Carolina outfit takes inspiration from the likes of The Beta Band and The Shins, crafting elegant Brit-tinged pop with majestic melodies and creative instrumentation (sitar, mandolin, samples)." Read this review...

The Riverfront Times, 4/2007
"Based in Asheville, North Carolina, but with roots all over the Midwest (bassist Dan Ingenthron was born and raised in St. Louis), the four-piece plays melodic, rootsy rock music with a penchant for atmospheric, spaced-out moments of bliss." Read this review...

Jambands.com, 4/2007
"The band is also an incendiary live unit with an incredibly complicated sound-and-sample-and-loop system that would rival the early Pink Floyd or Radiohead during its early 21st Century pop rock mayhem experimentations. The band’s new release, appropriately titled Apocalypse Cow Volume I, is another huge step forward for a band that is on the road towards mastering intimate atmospheres within a very large sonic canvas." Read this interview...

Jambase,4/2007
"Bandleader/vocalist Will Bradford’s penchant for social commentary is finely tuned, and producer Will Holland keeps everything clean on this solid effort that finds SeepeopleS on the cusp of a larger audience." Read this review...

Macon Telegraph, 5/2006
"It's not often that we see a band with an artistic vision as ambitious and developed as that of this quartet from Asheville, N.C." Read this review...

Amped Magazine, 5/2006
"What I really liked about the band is that even with the simplest melodies, they layered on plenty of sounds and influences, whether it was church organ, space bloops and bleeps or dub reggae reverb." Read this review...

KyndMusic, 5/2006
"Terrapin Beer, along with Asheville's own Harvest Records and  Ragtime Vintage Clothing present a very special benefit for the Southern Appalachian arm of Earth First!, with performances by Asheville's own psychedelic pop outfit SeepeopleS, along with the industrial funk of  Infradig and special guests." Read this review...

Jambase.com, 2/2006
"Their hard rock edge is strikingly similar to the disbanded European juggernaut The Verve, but with an electronic infusion resembling the French duo AIR. To round out this dose of loud groove-rock, they deliver sensible pop tunes a la The Samples and can push the limits when they load in the patches, crank up the samplers, and deliver some extremely danceable 'rocktronica.'" Read this review...

Citizen-Times, 1/2006
"People who like our band like us because we're really passionate about what we sing and write about," Bradford says. "Even if you don't like our music, which we hope you do, you'll definitely be thoroughly entertained." Read this review...

Jambase.com, 1/2006
" From the bluegrass of CX-1 and Shanti Groove to the eclectic styles of SeepeopleS and New Monsoon, to the headlining act of the tour - Georgia's rock-n-roll jamband Moonshine Still, Jamfest is sure to please any music fan. " Read this review...

Jambands.com, 1/2006
"A night later, the SeepeopleS's Will Bradford, who opened the group's show, also sang lead vocals on a cover of Soundgarden's "Blow Up The Outside World."" Read this review...

Flagpole, 12/2005
"...gems like "Dinosaur," "Everything Goes Away," "Send Me a Line" and "Butchers" instantly carve out space next to Perry Farrell's early '90s Porno for Pyros offerings. Like PFP, these songs are sometimes quirky, often beautiful soundscapes that occasionally drift, yet still deliver intent messages." Read this review...

Mountain Xpress, 11/2005
"Recently transplanted from New England to Asheville, SeepeopleS (spearheaded by multi-instrumentalist Will Bradford) address what is on the lips of many progressive causes -– corrupt governments and the corrosion of civil rights." Read this review...

Jambase.com, 5/2005
"A full on explosion by Ingenthron on bass highlighted this electronic punk rocker, which features mind-bending genre fusion and a monster dub jam. " Read this review...

Jambase.com, 3/2005
"Only the real life neighbor (Will Bradford of Bangor, ME) of horror novelist Stephen King could come up with such a frighteningly addictive project." Read this review...

Springfield News-Leader, 3/2005
"The music Bradford creates with SeepeopleS, however, is not burning with overt anger or acrimony. Instead, SeepeopleS' mixture of Brit rock, club music, reggae and jam-band grooves smolders with discontent, disillusionment and left-leaning lyrics." Read this review...

Space Junkies Magazine, 3/2005
"From atmospheric sounds to catchy riffs, SEEPEOPLES manage to create a flow which keeps you hooked from start to finish." Read this review...

PopMatters.com, 3/2005
"[The Corn Syrup Conspiracy is] exceptionally produced -- better than many major label albums, actually -- and it's packed to the brim at over 70 minutes of music." Read this review...

Jambase.com, 3/2005
"This amazing work from a band that was virtually unknown ignited a palpable buzz, and now the word of SeepeopleS is quickly spreading around the world." Read this review...

Glide Magazine, 2/2005
"As a collection, The Corn Syrup Conspiracy is stunning. Bradford and Co. prove that as a musical force, they're more than willing to take on genres with ferocity and throw their boats into almost any sound." Read this review...

Asheville Mountain XPress, 2/2005
"...there's more of an addictive edginess to SeepeopleS' sound than most jam bands ever try, and fans of grittier groups and styles will find much to love in this particular tribe." Read this review...

Homegrown Music Network, 2/2005
"The whole show was an assault, an unbelieveable dream-whip of gargantuan rhythms and interstellar noise. The band's political and socially urgent lyrics are not lost in the live setting, and Bradford appears to be at the edge of his composure with each passing verse." Read this review...

Exclaim Magazine, 2/2005
"[SeepeopleS] bring to mind Portishead as much as they do the Clash, which is an example of the wide range of styles interspersed throughout, popping up where you least expect it." Read this review...

Jambands.com, 2/2005
"You will probably like SeepeopleS. Maybe that's presumptuous, but the SeepeopleS are just an eminently likeable band (random capital-S be darned)..." Read this review...

The Noise Magazine, 2/2005
"The album takes Radiohead, Pink Floyd, and the ambient noise of Mars Volta and transforms them into Seepeoples. This whole album is definitely worth listening to." Read this review...

West Of Weekly, 2/2005
"While many in the Southeast still refer to SeepeopleS as one of the most exciting new alternative pop-rock bands on the scene, they're really not all that new. In one form or another, Bradford, bassist Dan Ingenthron, and drummer Tim Haney have been playing together for the better part of the last decade." Read this review...

Pulse Weekly, 2/2005
"Somewhere in the midst of SeepeoplesÕ wall of psychedelic noise, prog-rock influenced guitar lines and abnormal funk patterns, it hits you: These songs are catchy, and dare I say it, poppy." Read this review...

Portland Vanguard, 2/2005
"A knack for genre-blending and palpable, endearing energy make this, the second album from Maine pop-electronica group SeepeopleS, a good choice for those who appreciated Beck's Mutations or Helio Sequence." Read this review...

Creative Loafing Charlotte, 1/2005
"SeepeopleS is a Massachussets band now based in Asheville, and can fall under the same file that holds Radiohead and Stereolab." Read this review...

Jambase.com, 12/2004
"I literally can't remember the last time a CD from a band I had never heard of landed on my desk and was this good..." Read this review...

The Bend Bulletin, 12/2004
"Judging from SeepeopleS' new release, "The Corn Syrup Conspiracy," Bradford might just rival songwriting automaton Ryan Adams in his ability to journey around music eras as if he has a smooth-running time-machine." Read this review...

MOHeads.com, 11/2004
"The song, "Dog Days", is mostly instrumental with Parliament's Ray Davis providing the intro. It's the perfect way to open an album. It's the kind of song that, on first listen, makes you look forward to the next song and the rest of the album with a feeling not unlike greed." Read this review...

Ice Magazine, 11/2004
"Since their 2002 debut For the Good of the Nation, the band has become well-known in indie circles for their eclectic mix of pop, funk, prog-rock, and electronica, garnering a loyal cult following and comparisons to Radiohead, Wilco and Rage Against the Machine in the process." Read this review...

Dog Street Journal, 11/2004
"With lithe, rapidly moving bass lines, occasionally spacey synthesizer noises, and meandering Jimmy Eat World-esque guitar solos, the trio entertained the slowly growing (and slightly drunk) crowd..." Read this review...

Homegrown Music Network, 10/2004
"Words fail when trying to convey the manner in which this album cements itself in your mind. It's edgy and structural enough to appeal to the modern rock world, but full of enough vigor and texture to enamor fans of "jam" music as well." Read this review...

Pollstar.com, 10/2004
"...the first signs of such a plague will be death, followed by millions of brain-eating zombies rising from their graves and terrorizing the living for whatever tour dates remain, such as the new dates for SeepeopleS..." Read this review...

Charleston City Paper, 5/2004
"Without even hearing the album, an angry political-charged bent can be detected. But that doesn't really capture The SeepeopleS - a trio that mixes an infectious blend of pop, reggae, progressive rock, and some more electronic, trancelike ambient styles." Read this review...

Bangor Daily News, 1/2004
"Their new album, "For the Good of the Nation," shows off the SeepeopleS' newfound focus and pop sensibilities - that's to say, pop in the best possible sense of the word." Read this review...

Relix Magazine, 8/2004
"SeepeopleS has an interesting, albeit Kaleidoscopic sound, marrying techno/trance with rock and dub, and a sly, prog-rock undertone with an occasional jamband vibe." Read this review...

Worcester Telegram, 2/2004
"A touch of The Doors and Pink Floyd can be felt through the opening part of the CD, and the mesmerizing reggae jam stuck in the middle of the project is a nice and effective chill-out." Read this review...

Revolving Door Magazine, 7/2003
"This cosmic roller coaster ride keeps ripping down electrifying new passageways from beginning to end and the tune reminded me of the kind of musical trips that Pink Floyd used to embark on back in the late sixties." Read this review...

Jambands.com, 4/2003
"With For The Good of the Nation, See Peoples issue as fine a debut as any. The music is a rich tapestry of sound -- warm keyboards, echoing rhythms, acoustic guitars, mysterious synthesizers, and other sonic goodies." Read this review...

Troy Record, 6/2003
"The music on See Peoples' two-year-old album reminds me of Tangerine Dream with vocals, Country Joe & The Fish without the Vietnam War to rail against, Morphine, the band, on anti-depressants." Read this review...

Moultrie News, 6/2003
"Founding member Will Bradford's contagious voice captivated the audience almost as much as his pedal infused sparkling guitar parts and synth work." Read this review...

Soundcheck Magazine, 10/2002
"I can't recommend one or two particularly great songs... the whole CD has to get your full attention straight through... very soon!" Read this review...

The Noise Magazine, 9/2002

"As far as arriving at "Seepeoples," we feel the best way to continue the tradition of exposing and sharing ideas with new people is to go out and see them. Despite the popularity of color television, we hope to see you too." Read this review...
