FILTER MAGAZINE
"There is an obvious reason why Mean Creek was just named “Best Boston Act” by the Boston Phoenix. They play their music with such emotion that you can’t help but delve deep into the melodies and lyrical meanings behind each song. It’s hard not to get sucked into the incredible sound of their melodies, and they do it yet again with their newest single “The Land of Hopes and Dreams.”
AOL SPINNER
“Boston, Mass. has home to some of rock’s most iconic and influential bands, but it’s been a while since the historic city has seen an indie group like Mean Creek.
Alternating boy-girl vocalists Chris Keene and Aurore Ounjian conjure a Pixies-like dual frontperson mystique and they rock equally as hard as their Beantown alma mater.”
PASTE MAGAZINE
“Mean Creek is not merely a great Boston Band; they’re a really great band period. Everyone outside the 617 should be warned Boston has birthed it’s next prodigious band. Be prepared.”
NYLON MAGAZINE
“Luckily, Boston rockers Mean Creek pack thundering drums, huge guitars, and soaring melodies into one sweet package.”
