This is piss poor journalism. Like them or not, Harvard is nothing like "mall-rock" and their sound only vaguely resembles At the Drive-In; far better connections could be drawn. This writer clearly has a severely blurred or biased conception of musical style and fails to maintain an objective perspective. Multiple times in a single paragraph does he rip on Harvard when this event has nothing to do with Harvard in the first place. While it is reasonable to note Clasen's involvement with Harvard and even the stylistic differences between the two acts, spewing the page with his snotty personal opinion of the band served to neither promote this show or to give useful information to readers. Someone please fire Corbie Hill.
