The San Francisco Gate profiles local musical sensations Birdmonster, and John Vanderslice chimes in with praise:
"They're believable, and I think that's the highest compliment I can give a band," says John Vanderslice, indie rocker and Tiny Telephone studio head, who judged Birdmonster in a Live 105 contest.

How are you getting the word out about this record?
HL: We’ve had lots of wonderful people help us out with mp3 blogs picking up songs and just being really nice. For this record, Large Hearted Boy, Erasing Clouds and Said the Gramaphone did really nice reviews. It’s just how we’ve gotten the word out since we can’t go on tour a lot since we have professional jobs.
