WHITE/Maggi, Pierce And E.J.
"Here's one happy little number-trippy, twisted and tuneful-from two former members of The Goats and their hipster vocalizing girlfriend.
Purveying a light, loony, close-harmony music they dub Rolk (for Rockin' Folk), this Philly-based trio will have you bop-pin' to the likes of Perfekt Day (for a suicide),Beatle-y bugger Mizery, jazzy Cowchopping and a horsin' around country lament called Won't Happen Twice.
Engineered by whiz kid Michael Musmanno, the 17-song set's dressed with the sort of warm, quirky touches that mad formative years prog-rock LPs sound so special-from the Traffic-jammin' low sparks of saxophone and piano on Don't Mistake Love to the Hot Licks-gone-hip hop vibes of Terminal D." - Philadelphia Daily News
"In a lighter, but more eschewed musical framework is the debut album by a Philadelphia trio, Maggi,Pierce And E.J. The music of this outfit is totally different. Lyrically, it's open, cynical and unusual. Musically, it's a quirky mixture of rootsy folk, pop, rock and jazz with the slightly bizarre." - Relix Magazine
"Three scrappy musicians making a case for folk in the cynical, post-grunge '90s." - U National college Magazine
"Folky at times, ferociously rocking at times MP&E are Philadelphia's representatives of the new breed, all encompassing musicians that sneak up and down every corridor of the musical spectrum." - University Reporter college Magazine
