(THE BUZZ) NME "With bouncy keyboards, jangly guitars and easy-to-hum choruses, The Changes have become darlings of the cities (Chicago) pop scene. The Group stands apart from its peers by adding a light touch of jazz improvisation, ala Chicago's beloved Sea and Cake." BILLBOARD "(The Changes) makes you forget the Police were once considered an alternative to Steely Dan. Chorused-out Andy Summers-like guitar and breezy rhythms turn songs into genre-blurring pop gems." THE CHICAGO READER "(The Changes are) poised to be the next band to break out from Chicago Bars and into the mainstream…" TIME OUT CHICAGO "Chicago's big-buzz band The Changes…impressed (The Lollapalooza) Crowd with slick glee…The sound – reminiscent of The Smiths but not quite as, let's say, pure – shows both heart-on-sleeve approach that will attract half the scene and the danceable bounce will attract the other."
