"I still remember listening to Arctic Monkeys demos and having that giddy feeling that I discovered something really special. Who knows if The Van Goghs will be the next Arctic Monkeys, but that doesn’t matter. What does is that they are a great young talent that deserves your attention.

The band hails from York, Pennsylvania and deliver the exciting rock goods. For a young band they sound self assured and confident, which reminded me a lot of some band from Sheffield." -Will Oliver (We All Want Someone To Shout For) http://www.weallwantsomeone.org/ www.weallwantsomeone.org/2011/08/22/introducing-the-van-goghs/

"When I first heard these guys, many of you can, you will be aching feeling in my chest, and a very impressionable fans of Alex Turner and Miles Kane's eyes begin to podstupat, in a fit of nostalgia, tears."
