Caleb Scates: Press

Caleb Scates has the kind of voice that attracts new listeners. It's that simple, really. In a universe where TENS (perhaps HUNDREDS) of THOUSANDS of recordings are released annually, Caleb's voice finds its way to the heart in the ears in the mind of the listener. The music isn't all that sophisticated, and isn't intended to be. Caleb started making music about three years ago. His progress in that time is remarkable. He's got the kind of rock 'n roll hollar that harkens to an era of pure emotional brutality, without falling prey to emo cliches. The arrangement of the song is urgent. The performance studied and steady. All in all, not only is this worth a listen, but somewhere, somehow, this is worth recording better and selling however possible.

Caleb has a lot of talent as a songwriter and a promising future ahead of him!

"There is something very clever about Caleb's music. It has a very current sound, yet harkens back to an earlier time, hints at the future, and STILL has his thumb print on it. I believe he is a rising star that I am happy to have seen early on. If i have to give one peice of advice, only to lend credibilty to my review, I would love to see a more varied lineup of tunes. I'm sure we'll see it soon..."
