Speaking of upstream - the first couple of reviews are in. Check out some highlights:
"The Rationales have burst through the summer of 2017 with their
latest, and in the eyes of this music fan their best-to-date release,
Upstream." "electrifying guitar work and summer day anthems" "a genuinely independent sound that nods to the forerunners while
maintaining a strong presence in their own skin. Fresh assemblies of a
truly American sound, hinting off and on at moments of great 90s
alt-rock, combined with shredding breaks and truly energetic,
unrestrained releases. Upstream amounts to one hell of a record." "Upstream solidifies The Rationales. It feels as though everything
they’ve worked for leading up to this album has, in retrospect, been a
struggle to find themselves. Well, here they are. This is The Rationales
I’ve been waiting for. This is The Rationales I wanted. This is The
Rationales I didn’t know I needed in my life."
"a lush rock sound" "electrifying riffs and solos that are just jaw dropping. " "With songs of loss, regret, nostalgia, and longing... you feel like
you’re riding shotgun with Mirabella on the back roads in New England as
he tells his stories." "the electrifying guitar opener, “Ready
to Go” is driving, swirling with electronic sounds and heavy beats...
the ripping guitar solo gets the adrenaline pumped up for the rest of
the album." ““Trade You” takes the rhythm into Dire Straits
territory. That infectious groove takes hold and refuses to let go. It’s
easily my favorite off the album." “All the While” kicks things up a notch again. David Lieb shines on this track with his saloon piano styling. " "Another highlight was “Climb the Ladder,” The song starts with an
Americana sound as it segues into a piano breakdown. Mike Mirabella’s
vocals layered over the piano chords gives it a haunting touch. It’s
slow moving, but that changes as it gradually intensifies into a
screaming guitar solo"
