"The latest signing to Cleveland's Exit Stencil Records, Like Bells, aren't your typical band of instrumental rockers. They do more than pair a simple melody with effects pedals and stacks of amps to create dynamic moments of tension and release. On a number like "Yeti," this Oberlin trio is just as likely to follow a tense moment with a serene string movement as they are to flood eardrums with a flurry of loud. So when the big banging, clanging moment does come, it doesn't feel like predictable post-rock, but the just culmination of patient, piercing introspection." --I Rock Cleveland
"Ohio's Like Bells have found the formula to break the boredom and expand the genre...they have created an indie gem full of life, Americana, thought, and movement." --Orange Alert
"[Like Bells'] music is shape-shifting, experimental and atmospheric. Melodic guitars form the foundation for each track, constantly exploring new sounds from shimmering meandering pieces to pure rock...Like most progressive-rock bands Like Bells' songwriting relies heavily on the quiet/loud formula, but the feeling of de vu never rears its ugly head as each shift in structure is executed well and the instrumentals are tight and compelling." --The Silent Ballet
"It only seems appropriate that the second I go on a tirade about post-rock, along comes yet another band that fits into that category that's actually quite good. Introducing, Like Bells. Predominantly instrumental, this trio of Oberlin College / Conservatory students don't shy away from a catchy melody and songs of pop-song length...utilizing their instruments to their fullest (violin /viola, guitar, drums, cpu) to create songs and arrangements that are both beautifully complex and accessible." --The Pop Stereo
