Vintage Blue on Unsigned Corner
In the wake of the Boston Marathon attacks, the blog
Unsigned Corner chose to feature the band and our song "Just Breathe". The song is about remaining calm and realizing that love is all around you. It was a great choice by the blog.

JP'S Music Blog - CD Review
From Chicago comes Vintage Blue with their debut album “Strike
The Mics.” The album was originally released last year as the band’s pure rock
sound found them opening shows for Lifehouse, Fitz & The Tantrums and The
Lovehammers.
The album begins with the fun rock sound of “Set You Free”
as the addition of horns give their music that little extra shot of adrenaline
that makes you want to dance. They rock out on “Unchained” as their sound gets
a bit edgier with a little raw guitar. They move over to a more pop-rock
sound with the keyboard highlights of “Speak” and the up-tempo “Sleep On This.”
Vintage Blue travel out to the country with the songs, “Just Breathe” and “Against
Time,” before finishing up the album with the fun, upbeat sound of “True.”
Vintage Blue is currently working on their follow-up album
and will be announcing more live dates very soon. For more information on this
rising rock band, please visit vintagebluemusic.com.

Wildy's World Review
“Drawing on a wealth of influences and sonic palettes, Strike The Mics is a cathartic experience. …Vintage Blue does so much well on Strike The Mics that it’s difficult to summarize. Ranging from singer/songwriter balladry to classic rock to modern rock and alternative, the band is eclectic in its range and songwriting talent. …In another era these guys would be mega stars. … Strike The Mics is likely to become a treasured and oft-played part of your collection.”
