Lovelorn, conversation-like lyrics, guitars jangling over pounding rhythms, an idiosyncratic vocal style, and a healthy nod to any number of old-school indie-pop and post-punk acts; Smalltalk takes the finest aspects of Echo and the Bunnymen and the Cure's less lethargic emotions and propels it thirty years forward for a new audience. Smalltalk “Plus!" collects all four out of print e.p. releases on double 12” Vinyl (w/ Digital Download Card) and Digipak CD.
"Like Steve Lillywhite's productions of U2, Simple Minds, Chameleons, and Big Country, with a harder Amerindie flavor." - Jack Rabid / The Big Takeover
"Rather than hook-laden, high energy punk, Smalltalk pays homage to the darker, more melancholy acts of the 80's and early 90's... intelligent, poignant songs that are both instantly recognizable and obtusely unique.” - Rich Quinlan / Jersey Beat
"Neptune City, NJ's Smalltalk, featuring Zak Kaplan of Worthless United and Pete Steinkopf of the Bouncing Souls, may be the best Punk-Rock supergroup to absolutely refrain from dabbling in the genre where its members cut its teeth." - Chris Rotolo / Speak Into My Good Eye
"Hailing from New Jersey, they sound as if they were born and bred in a post-industrial town in northern England, so familiar is their sound.” - Adam Hammond / Isolation UK
