"Blending jangly indie pop with driving, melodic guitar rock and punk grit, Chick Wallace don’t lend themselves to easy pigeonholing, but if you’re searching for a unifying factor it’s the haze of jet-black drama that engulf their songs like a storm cloud. Even Paulos’ most tender confessions are steeped in a fog of caution and dark humor, and the band’s versatile approach serves to spread that mist into every resplendent nook and cranny."
