The Whiskey Charmers “Streetlights” Lust for Life Magazine Review (print) by Harry de Jong

Many thanks to Harry de Jong from “Lust For Life Magazine” in the Netherlands for the amazing review of our album. Translation to English below.

The Whiskey Charmers – Streetlights
The Whiskey Charmers are comprised of the American singer/guitarist Carrie Shepard and guitarist Lawrence Daversa. This duo has no complaints about a lack of performances, because they are constantly on the road through the land of Uncle Sam. He behind the wheel and she with her feet in flashy cowboy boots on the dashboard, the mobile phone at hand. Streetlights is the successor to On The Run, released last year, and actually has hardly any weak spots. That is mainly because The Whiskey Charmers have found a beautiful synthesis of indie pop and alternative country. And that formula works perfectly on this new album full of self-written material. In addition, Daversa is a guitarist who knows how to coax a sparkling sound from his instrument and gives every song an extra dimension with his witty solos. And Shepard’s golden throat does the rest. – Harry de Jong

Detroit: Become Human

We are excited to announce that three songs from our first record are in the new video game Detroit: Become Human, developed by Quantic Dream and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 4, released worldwide on May 25th. The game takes place in Detroit in 2038 and is centered around three androids: Connor, Kara, and Markus. All three songs in the game (Can’t Leave, Straight and Narrow, and C Blues) play inside Jimmy’s bar where Connor meets Lieutenant Anderson.

You can find “Can’t Leave” in the first scene of the video game walk through below.

We spoke with Michael Jackman from The Detroit Metro Times the other day, and he wrote a fun article which you can find here. 

The coolest thing about our music being in Detroit: Become Human? People are still listening to our songs in 2038! 🙂

Soul of a Clown

Many thanks to Soul of a Clown for taking the time to review our album. Read the full article here.

“Many of the songs have a sound that could easily transcend genres and bring The Whiskey Charmers wider success. “Straight & Narrow” is a delightful song which has a real laid back, Americana feel to it. It’s a similar story with the more upbeat sounding “Can’t Leave”. Songs like “Sidewinder” and “Parlor lights” have a wider landscape feel to them. They’re brooding, dark songs with a more epic feel to them. They have you imagining being in a late night bar, probably drinking away your sorrows.”- The Soul of a Clown, December 4th, 2015
