Format:Audio CD
The latest from Seth Swirsky and Mike Ruekburg is a different animal to their debut.
Still in love with all things Beatley and Beachboys this time round they throw in nods to Steelye Dan, Elvis Costello and the Bryds.
These songs are crafted homages but, like Irish popsters Pugwash, messers Swirsky & Ruekburg are smart enough to place their own unique stamp on what could otherwise have slipped into pastiche.
Highlights are plentiful - Caught In The Middle is a pitch perfect early Lennon stomper, Sandreen a catchy as hell harmony drenched popper whilst both Picture and On A Summer Day would sit happily on a Sunflower era Beachboys album.
Flashes of Harrisoneque guitar, honky tonk piano and strings colour the beatgroup backings and smart musical flourishes are abundent.
Occasionally you find yourself wishing the Red Button boys would cut lose and rock out but its probably not far off the mark to say that As Far As Yesterday Goes is the best thing either songwriter has done.

Best Album Of 2011!!!
23 Jun 2011
Format:Audio CD
This is definitely going to be the best of 2011. Can't see anything on the horizon to beat it. Melodies galore. By the way, go theredbutton.net and get your copy of this and the first album on vinyl. Don't know what Joe is listening to but this album is great. The playing and singing on this are exemplary and the songwriting is top notch. Get this now!!!

I like it even more than the last one.
23 Jun 2011
Format:Audio CD
This album has been my constant car companion since I received it. I liked the first album for its 60s jangly thing and there's still a lot of that on this one. But this album is also a cool kind of ride with almost cinematic songs, like "Easier," which is one of my favorites. I also hit repeat a lot on "You Do Something To Me" and "Sandreen." My only complaint is that I had the title song ("As Far As Yesterday Goes") looping in my brain for about a week.

The Red Button is Back!
23 Jun 2011
Format:Audio CD
Great, solid album by The Red Button!!! While "Girl, Don't" is probably one of my favorite tracks so far, the entire album is definitely going onto my summer playlist! Breezy and fun powerpop just in time for the summer. Enjoy :)
