about

As We Watch the Years Go… was released on July 31, 2016. Cleveland Scene claimed that these songs “reveal a simple truth about You’re Among Friends: they just enjoy playing music, and want nothing more than for you to sit back and relax.” Eclectic Music Lover called this “a fun and mellow album that makes you think a little bit about life in all its craziness as you’re enjoying the music,” and then went on to say that he hears “touches of Steely Dan, Elvis Costello and The Grateful Dead in their sound, and Anthony’s vocals really channel Randy Newman at times.” Small Albums said that the album reminded them of “sprinklers watering the grass on a warm summer morning when you first wake up.” Divide and Conquer said that the album “exemplifies the mastery that You’re Among Friends has accumulated and hones in their many years in the business of creating entertaining and meaningful music.” D&C also pointed out that the album “is a unique blend of blues, power pop and alternative rock” and that “hints of beach rock and traditional rock ’n’ roll pepper ‘Years Go,’ the album’s opening track.” Black Squirrel Radio, Rock That Rolls, and Odyssey Radio have played “Years Go.” It’s Only Rock ’n’ Roll, Lone Frequencies, Northern Pirate Radio, and Banks Radio have played “The Opposite.” The Beard and the Brew, Throwback Acoustic, and the Music Authority have featured some other tracks from the album.

You're Among Friends Cleveland, Ohio

Tagged as “casual rock” by Powerpopaholic, YAF’s music has been described by Cleveland Scene as having “rollicking blues at its core with a sugary coating of power pop, doused in more than just a little bit of ’90s alt-rock nostalgia.” Indientry said it is “power pop disguised as bluesy rock” and “effortlessly cool.” Eclectic Music Lover called it “funky, blues-infused folk rock.” ... more
