PRESS: Read on to find out about our debut album "When Chandeliers Sway"
NAPSTER - "Indie pop-rockers Warren Charles are an emerging band based out of Los Angeles whose debut album, When Chadeliers Sway, combines the piano-centric, left-of-center sensibility of Ben Folds Five with Cake's love of darkly humorous lyrics. Brothers Lucas and Peter Jacobson take turns fronting the band and writing smart, emotionally charged songs on a range of topics; The whimsical "Elephant in the Room" (depicted in the neosurrealist cover art) likens a taboo conversation to a clumsy pachiderm wreaking havoc at a dinner party, while "Accident" explores the singer's fatal attraction to self-destructive women. Although the band isn't afraid to bring the funk on some tracks, relying on full orchestrations with horn accompaniment, their strength as songwriters really shines through when they pare down their sound and lead with piano and guitar. Overall, WCS is a solid debut effort - definitely worth a listen. "
CIRCLES OF CONCRETE - "Warren Charles is a rock duo that features percussive piano rhythms, funky guitar licks and interweaving harmonies. On top of all that, it's catchy as hell."
BILL'S MUSIC FORUM - "Warren Charles is W. Peter Jacobson and C. Lucas Jacobson, a brotherly duo that can really tickle the ivories, along with your senses. Their 2009 effort, 'When Chandeliers Sway', oscillates between jazz and funk, but is firmly attached to a ceiling of pop rock"
RUSSELL HOBBS - "Great songwriting... I like the fact that lyrically these songs stick. The concepts are in your face and in your life. These guys have a chance in the music business. Definitely a lot of talent here, good enough to go for it."
BOBBY BORG - "Performance with enthusiasm that is likely to lead them to big places." (Drummer of Warrant and author of The Musician's Handbook)
