More OD Press!



"There is the obvious influence of the DC, Dischord/early Emo scene, ie Grey Matter, Fugazi etc. Quickly shaking off the temptation I came to realize the band is really most like themselves. They are very good. The Anacortes quartet shows passion, growth and intelligence with this release. The loud, explosive guitars are to die for and the vocals intoxicate. Buy this record." - What's Up Magazine

"Seattle-based band The Oregon Donor comes out swinging on their sophomore LP, A Pageant's End. With the fury of a popular hometown band on the rise, the band took what was interesting about their debut Somethings and ramped it up a notch. Not only are they using prog-rock influences such as Don Caballero and early Dischord bands that they grew up on, but they seem to have thrown a little Radiohead and the like into the mix. It is important to note that the progression is more subtle than most jumps from album one to album two; it takes repeated listens to appreciate what The Oregon Donor have accomplished with A Pageant's End." - Redefine Magazine

"With just the right mix of thrash and melody, wildly unpredictable, yet fluid chord-progressions, and groovy hooks, Pageant’s End will leave one’s inner-Pacific-Northwesterner thirsting for more. The opening track “Pagent” comes in slow, like a shy kid with glasses, but then caresses you with self-assured melody in between head-nodding drum thrusts and extremely satisfying hooks. The rest of the album picks up speed, signaled by the not-quite-primal “Whoo!” at the beginning of “Hostages,” hastening in cadence, but never really losing touch with the proggy guitar loops and emo-disguised-as-screamo vocals that necessitate that these tracks be replayed."
- Wonka Vision
