Check out the initial press for 1956:

“While the overarching vibe of 1956 ebbs and flows between cymbal crashing, distorted blues and hear-a-pen-drop quiet verse parts, The Demon Beat nails the loud/soft dynamic and fits the sound on 1956 into some of their previous hard rockin’ bluesy material. It’s nothing like “This Is No Fun,” or “Make My Move,” off last year’s Shit, We’re 23, more like the sound of “You Only Love Me When You’re Stoned,” off the Caustic Eye/Bud Caroll split they put out. A great sound, just a divergence from any pop or punk feel they’ve had.

Everybody who’s followed The Demon Beat to this point can tell they have a kind of throwback sound and style. But until now it’s been mainly a 60’s and 70’s feel. Pulling the 50’s into their sphere of influences only makes The Demon Beat that much more appealing to rock fans. While not much longer than a half an hour and recorded in just a few days, 1956, like a lot of The Demon Beat’s songs, seems years in the making.” – WVRockscene

WVRockscene also named 1956 one of their TOP 10 CDS OF 2010

“As an incurable fan of what-if, I’m drawn in by how the band bemoans the loss of opportunity and wonders how the course of rock & roll would have shifted if things had been different. There’s something sympathetic but also devilish about picking apart the bones of what could have been and pinpointing precisely when someone’s star started to fade…1956 is the conceptual mass heretofore hinted at around the edges of the Demon Beat’s releases. This is the sound of an awesome band studying the past to build the foundation of something incredible in the future.” – Rock O’ Clock

“The band has progressed quite a bit since last year’s Shit, We’re 23 and are almost in full on stoner rock mode with this album. If I had to describe it in one word it would be “epic”. Most of the 5 songs are around 8 minutes long, they blend seamlessly into each other, are simply titled “Movement 1″, “Movement 2″, etc, and the whole thing just begs to be listened to with gigantic headphones on your ears and mind altering substance of choice in your brain. Which is, I’m pretty sure what they were shooting for with this.” – A Truer Sound
