Good Day Noir Family,

Reasons is Scoville Unit’s Single Out Now
I really liked the sound of this band, it took me back to the early 90s.
The musical blend of the Scoville Units reminded me of a mix between R.E.M and Weezer. The chorus of Reasons made me think of a song like Man on the Moon.
I’m sure the melody of this song will echo in my head for a long time…it’s catchy and contagious.
It is evident that Scoville Unit spent a lot of time in the rehearsal room to achieve such an enviable musical alchemy.
Honestly, I have not found any flaws with this tune. The production is fantastic and the performance is solid.
I think this band’s music has a lot of potential. We need to keep them under the radar as they produce quality music.
Reasons is Scoville Unit’s Single Out Now!
Solid!

Scoville Unit is a down-to-earth east coast band, led by long-time friends (and ex-college roommates) Drew Isleib and Gandhar Savur, with Kevin Shelbourne on lead guitar and Rob Hunsicker on drums. All four members cut their teeth in the NJ underground scene, playing countless shows in various bands spanning hardcore punk and power pop, such as El Secondhand and Velour 44.
Although remaining largely unknown as a band, their songs have hit #1 at college stations all over the country. They have been described in the press as “Imagine Brian Wilson growing up in Asbury Park instead of Malibu,” “pure pop rock genius”, and “winsome and infectious”; and called “one of the more talented forces working in indie music”; most recently Under the Radar described their single “Reasons” as “a pitch-perfect dose of power pop euphoria”. They have drawn comparisons to bands such as the Replacements, Sugar, the Lemonheads, Teenage Fanclub Big Star and Guided By Voices along the way, even earning the well deserved “essential new music” tag from NPR Music.
