With a diverse selection of influences that include The Beach Boys and Jimmy Eat World, 'Sing, But Keep Going' offers sharp lyrics, indie charm and a nod to the great songwriters of decades past.
These boys started off their career with a head start. This is album is solid start to finish -- the perfect record for a warm summer night drive. The harmonies, the production, the songs, and of course Nate Henry's vocals, like warm butter spread across a sonic bagel.The bonus tracks are cool as well, and definitely make this album a steal at only 8 bucks. Definitely check this out -- listen to some previews if you don't believe me! "Town That You Live In" and "I'll Wait for You" are some of my favorites.

So Much Potential, Hopefully They Find It
Review by Ray Harkins:This seems to be the year for "sophomore slumps" for most of the newer releases that have hit toward the first half of this year. All of the "big" releases in one way or another haven't delivered on different levels (with the exception of a few).Sherwood, on their debut EP reminded all of us how fun it was to hear a young band for the first time.

Review by Ray Harkins:This seems to be the year for "sophomore slumps" for most of the newer releases that have hit toward the first half of this year. All of the "big" releases in one way or another haven't delivered on different levels (with the exception of a few).Sherwood, on their debut EP reminded all of us how fun it was to hear a young band for the first time. Much like the first time you heard Four Minute Mile by The Get Up Kids or Nothing Feels Good by The Promise Ring; it just made you smile. Obviously it made some heads over at SideCho take notice and snatched the band up for a multiple record deal.Sing, But Keep Going is their SideCho debut and maybe the bar was set too high with their stellar debut, but Sherwood seem to have lost that "innocent" sound that was peppered throughout their first EP. As a record, it is musically solid and well played and much more cohesive than their previous work, but it is all about the intangibles that sometimes can push a release from mediocre to amazing. Songs like "I'll Wait For You" and "Those Bright Lights" capture a glimpse of where this band is heading.Undoubtedly, Sherwood have grown tremendously with this record and you can hear their ideas, how underdeveloped they may be, working through and hopefully coming out a better band because of it.
