Burning Bridges, Breaking Rules: The Rise of The Sunmills
West Hollywood WeeklyJuly 3, 2025 | by Sixteen Ramos
"What sets them apart isn’t just the sound, it’s the storytelling. The lyrics are clever, a little sarcastic, and painfully relatable.

BuffaBlogMay 8, 2025 | by Nick Sessanna
"The blistering bass groove found throughout Not Going Home might be some of the coolest instrumentation on the album. Whispering Words dips its toe into prog territory, even channeling the Beatles a bit, with its transcendent harmonies and epic guitar work. Lastly, album closer Johnny Appleseed has some insane drum work that kept me at the edge of my seat throughout the entire listen – bravo..."
