This guitar based three piece Alt Rock group hailing from the San Francisco Bay area blends a melodic Rock mentality with a powerful, gritty, grunge-like angst. But once you think you've figured them out, The Aesthetics will take a left turn into a slightly demented power country/pop tune or a slow ballad, somehow never loosing sight of their original musical focus.
"Straight-up rock served with a dose of octane boost. Crack the drums, rev up the bass, set the amp for "distort", and let's go put on a show for the good people who bought the tickets. The Aesthetics are a lot of rock with some country and punk thrown in for flavor. This nicely produced CD, complete with comic book horror art that's collectible in its own right, is a worthy listen. Good stuff. Sounds like the Replacements, REM & Red Hot Chili Peppers fought in a back alley, and the Replacements won, mostly."

"Eighties style new wave and nineties alternative rock songs with a modern mix. Sounds a bit like R.E.M. at times as well as the Red Hot Chili Peppers. A pretty enjoyable listen for the most part. "Wake Up To Be You", "I Throw My Heart Away" and "If I Can't Have You" all have the R.E.M. thing going on. "What Can You Teach Me" nails the Red Hot Chili Peppers dead on and "Three Martini Lunch" is a twisted nod to Burt Bacharach. What more could you ask for from a band? Hey, if you're looking for something slightly different and a tad off kilter then this is your band."
