What others say about us. "New York pop outfit the Pasties will have you riding a wave of groovy Moog and hook-heavy melodies. The band's new CD, Platonica, is as refreshing as swig of tart lemonade, the perfect antidote to winter's bitter heart." - The Boston Globe, 2/1/02 "The Pasties might not help you straighten out your mess of a life, but they'll probably have you convinced that everything's all right as long as they're playing. Perhaps the CD can help you through the times when they aren't." - Time Out New York, 2/7/02 "From the Lower East Side of New York City comes a power pop band to be reckoned with...Their full-length debut will garner the band a legion of fans of their own. Platonica is guitar-based pop music with nonstop hooks, and lead singer Devon Copley's voice reminds me a bit of Matthew Sweet or Michael Penn. It's an excellent debut, and I'm sure strippers all over the country will be falling over the Pasties when they hear Platonica." - Suite 101's "Best New CD's" January 2002 "Ooooh la la la! The disc starts off breathless, but this is no mere sonic rush of candy-coated pop. Rather, the Pasties have one hell of a come on, and they back that up with gorgeously-crafted pop gems...I haven't heard a pop album this crafted--and this well-made, for that matter--in quite a while." - Aiding and Abetting, Jan. 2002 (full review here) "Smart, often optimistic power pop from a New York City band who trade on a sound built on the top three strings of the guitar and a Vox organ, not to mention some of the most sublime melt-in-your-mouth vocal harmonies I've heard in a long while." - Cosmik Debris, Jan. 2002 (full review here) "Great guitar riffs, booming bass lines, spacey keyboards and superb percussion ... In a nutshell, this is one kick-ass band and one really rocking album. I expect we will be hearing much more from The Pasties for years to come." - Rockzilla.net "After a few listens this somehow catches you....Catchy guitar, electric keyboards with just the right degree of perk and vocals that alternate from sounding blissfully careless to moderately melancholy.
