Heavy Denver

"Trust me, you will not have a minute to daydream or become bored listening to tvfordogs. This CD is concrete proof that TV is for dogs and music is for humans." --MuzikMan, MusicDish

"Heavy Denver is strongly reminiscent to the Foo Fighters' The Colour and the Shape. Since I think that particular album is one of the most dramatically underrated rock albums of the last several years, you can imagine I'm pretty pleased with what's coming out of my headphones right now." --John Scalzi, IndieCrit

"Good, well produced material for modern rock radio, and most probably soon-to-be critics' darlings in the major music magazines. Check them out and be ahead of the masses!" --Kimmo Toivonen, AOR-Europe

"Unlike most rock, which has all the depth of a one-trick pony, tvfordogs, like the best rock bands past and present, shifts gears and blends songs in a way that not only puts the individual songs in best relief, but takes the listener on a journey." --Mark Kirby, MusicDish

Here's what the indie press is currently saying about
'Roller' and "Heavy Denver"
And here's what some of our fans are saying!
Reviewer: A music fan from London, UK This album simply rocks,but its not the typical 'rockers' album. Album incorporates, a lot of 'groove' ('FAQ') and accessibility to tracks without the yawn of predictability that's found in popular music today. Then there are surprising moments like 'Emergence', where intense but subtle classical influences bring a trance-like ebb to the flow of poetic lyricism and and hard jammin' guitar. Neil Luckett's vocals are compelling and refreshing. Just get it!

Reviewer: martin king from sydney, australia This album opens beautifully with the pacey and edgey Patient Pilgrim. The wonderful guitar work, a hallmark of the entire album, is particularly evident on this first track. The smooth rock riffs of Patient Pilgrim contrast wonderfully well with the more off-beat FAQ - the album's second track, and another that boasts some very distinctive and memorable guitar work. The album showcases Luckett's writing and playing skills, with each track serving up catchy, melodic guitar lines in a heavy rock setting. There's certainly enough barnstorming rock to satisfy those who like their music full-blooded. But there's a great deal of sophistication to tvfordogs. Clouds builds well from soft, melodic beginnings to a swirling finale but this album, for me, certainly saves the best until last. Too Soon To Leave is quite simply a fantastically constructed ballad. Luckett's guitar combines powerfully and movingly with a string arrangement to produce a most evocative and emotional climax to the album. I hear a second work is on the way .... pass me my diary.

Reviewer: A music fan from Washington DC United States This really is an excellent record. I've seen it compared to Radiohead and Coldplay, and it stands up to the comparison; I'd also add the Eels and The Flaming Lips to the list of folks that are driving down the same street as TV for Dogs. The steering wheel might be on the other side of the car, but they're headed in the same direction. "Capsule Wardrobe" is one of the song finds of the year for me, it manages the difficult trick of being innovative whilst still being a pop song the milkman can whistle. You don't need me to tell you how rare that is.
Buy it, you won't be sorry.
