Talk:The Big Sleep (band)

Latest comment: 2 years ago by Slywriter in topic Content removed, potential sources

This article is kind of borderline regarding notability of the band, though it's better than a lot of articles about similar bands. It would help greatly to have proper citations for the review segments used, meaning a link to a page on a web site, or at least the date, page, title and author of the print articles. The fact that this band has been independently reviewed by various legitimate publications can help this band's article stand head and shoulders above others. Let me know if I can be of help.

Reviews and press

  • "...a fully formed psych-rock beast, equally capable of soothing with gentle melodies as it is of slaughtering with a menacing attack." - Playback: Stl
  • "The Big Sleep is a rock band from New York: they are also a force that will lift you off your feet and slam you into the wall behind you, where you will rattle to the ground, brush yourself off, and come back for more." - Loose Record
  • "...heads started to thrash, as the trio took the best elements of postrock and un-bored them, quickening the tempo while remaining mysterious and cerebral." - Village Voice
  • "Arrive early, sad sack, and get your mind blown by Brooklyn-based trio the Big Sleep, whose largely instrumental brand of darkness rolls in apocalyptic waves, with traces of early (pre-'The') Verve-meets-Sonic Youth-meets My Bloody Valentine-meets the awesome dream you once had after you stayed up for three days straight. But the Big Sleep are less about who they might remind you of, and more about where they’re going. If you went to Disney World and rode Space Mountain, and there were moments of blissful drifting between the times you’re hurtling through the cosmos at breakneck speeds, it still wouldn’t describe what you're in store for. Wearing a seat belt on your trip with the Big Sleep won’t do you any good at all." - New York Press (July 2006) Slywriter (talk) 01:24, 30 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
