So, we were able to get our latest recording reviewed by a couple local places. Here's what they had to say:

What's Up Magazine:
Pink Lincoln's 2009 demo is an explosive 4-song EP that is really well done and shows tremendous growth for this Bellingham power trio. While the songs are in kind of the Metallica and Daughtry realm, they are tight and pleasing, more so than the previously mentioned mega stars. Bootcamp, the third song on the demo is a powerful portrayal of the feelings enlisted personnel endure in the clutches of a military commitment gone awry.

Pink Lincoln's production work is top notch, with a great drum sound and vocal texture. The rhythm section's machine-like work along with the big guitar sounds make this record the stuff of big crowds with big hair and 3G iPhones emitting Nickleback ringtones.

Pink Lincoln should definitely take these songs out of Demo and release a full length record. I take off my tube top and throw my bra on the stage for Pink Lincoln. You will soon do the same. -Boris Budd

Bell-tone.com:
Pink Lincoln is a hard rockin’ local combo that delivers on this demo CD-R a crunchy guitar attack, with a sense of melody and excellent production for a demo. This 3-piece has a sound that’s bigger than Bellingham - I don’t listen to much radio anymore, but when I do (especially Canadian radio) it’s filled with songs that sound similar to this. It’s a compliment to the band that they have created something so professional sounding - it’s like they’re ready for the big leagues already. The demo has 4 songs - all originals that really show of the diversity of this band. If you like hard rock with a professional sheen, check out local boys Pink Lincoln. -Sean Berry

Pretty stoked on these reviews.

That's way cool. And it's about time the press gained their senses about the awesomeness of Pink Lincoln.

Careful...I don't need an ego boost like that! lol

Thorn - I thought of you this weekend. I had a severe allergic reaction to septrin...really bad hives in the evenings for 3 days. It was like I was looking at some medical film, rather than my own body. Lame. The doc said it was good I stopped taking it because it could have killed me.

Still not what you are going through, but felt like I could relate in a small way. So, I hope for a speedy solution for you.
