BOSTON GLOBE REVIEWS "GO NO GO." Music critic Zoe Madonna writes, “Their riff-driven songs burst with crunchy-soulful harmonies, slightly fuzzy guitars, and boisterous heart.”
ABOUT
Field Day formed proverbially, in a basement, and unexpectedly, when its members were well into middle age. Joan Anderman was a neophyte, having left her longtime post as rock critic at The Boston Globe and set out to become a songwriter. Her former Globe colleague Dan Zedek, veteran of numerous college bands, was sitting on a stash of songs written in his head while riding the train to work. The band's original drummer J ohn Kehe offered his gear-filled basement for weekend song circles. The chemistry was potent. These songs and these songwriters belonged together. With the addition of bassist Phil Magnifico and drummer Chuck Hargreaves, Field Day has become an unlikely upstart on the Boston club scene, playing rock music with scrappy hooks, dreamy harmonies, and irrepressible spirit.

BOSTON HERALD, Jed Gottlieb ”Hints at some lost collaboration between Juliana Hatfield and Evan Dando. Maybe this is a roundabout way of saying Field Day has a gift for modern rock melodies.”
THE BOSTON GLOBE, James Reed “Seriously raucous barroom rock that stings with lean power chords and open-hearted lyrics.”
VANYALAND, Michael Marotta “Finished With You” should be the start of many more words and sounds from the Boston indie-pop group, who in advance of their Rock and Roll Rumble appearance next week have released three new songs, dubbed The Woolly Mammoth Sessions, led by the sunny and infectious guitar-rock track.

THE TAB, Ed Simches “Becoming a musician has been like the icing on my life. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done, and it’s made me realize that it doesn’t matter so much what other people think of what I’m doing, how I’m looking, how old I am, the choices I make in my life. All that matters is this moment. It was terrifying at first, but now I just feel like I’m on top of the world.” Read full interview
ACTIVATE MAGAZINE, Guy Quixote "A very clear '90s alt. pop vibe… The production of ‘Go No Go’ is great. It’s a collection of songs that center on flirtation, relationships and psychological self-reflection. Love the guitar tone, and the keyboards enhancement of the songs." Read full review
