  LEFT OFF THE DIAL - The Connells
Asking a true music lover to choose a favorite artist is not really different from asking a parent to choose a favorite child.
When I was only 9, I would hear the sounds of bands like The Replacements, the Hoodoo Gurus, The Ocean Blue, the Charlatans UK, and of course The Connells coming from his room.

 the-connells Mp3 Albums Review
This is arguably the best Connells cd from start to finish....that's not to say that there are not better songs on other cd's but Boylan Heights strength is that it is a complete musical work.
The Connells are one of the best bands in the country and Still Life assures they still have it.
The cover of the old Jethro Tull song is a surprise, since the Connells are not known for their covers, but they pull this one off nicely.

The Connells wurden 1984 in Raleigh, North Carolina gegründet.
The Connells formed in 1984 in Raleigh, North Carolina.
This new album, their first collaboration with producer Scott, finds the band in a focused, radio-friendly mode; tracks like "Crown" and "Soul Reactor" promise to please both the Connells' longtime fan base and a new generation of listeners primed for their sound.

 On That Note - The Connells
The Connells represent my roots as a lover of music, making them ironically appropriate for my first review.
This band is from NC and got their start while I was going to college at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The Connells are a great band and I will see them again and again as long as they keep playing.

 Still Life : Music by Connells, reviewed by Carey Dean Potash   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Famous for not being famous, The Connells threaten that each album will be their last.
It was interesting to learn that the one song that I felt was the most adventurous on the album was written by the newest addition to the band, keyboardist Steve Potak.
With matured songwriting, longevity and the ability to persevere over some pretty steep hurdles, The Connells have proven that they're ready to peel off the "college band" label that has been stuck to them for so many years.

 TrouserPress.com :: Connells
Led by guitarist Mike Connell (his brother David is the bassist), this Raleigh, North Carolina quintet possesses a fragile, vaguely Celtic melodic sense that nicely complements the introspective lyrics, making for music that combines the best impulses of Southern guitar jangle and the sensitive singer/songwriter tradition.
The new studio tunes are unexceptionally decent, but the pop-inflected rendition of Jethro Tull's "Living in the Past" is a goof that quickly wears thin; while introspective and powerful, the live "Fun and Games" is not nearly enough to carry the record.
The rest aren't as catchy or clever as most of the tunes Huntley has written for the Connells, and his debut is disappointing compared with the group's recent albums.

 Panorama.no - The Connells: Ring - Out of time?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Førsteinntrykket som Ring gir lokker frem minner om R.E.M. anno tidlig åttitall (kan det være fordi at The Connells også kommer fra staten Georgia?) kombinert med endel britiske indieband fra samme periode.
Forskjellen er at vi nå har kommet til 1995, og det er ikke lenger noen (med unntak av The Connells?) som spiller åttitalls poprock i dette segmentet lenger.
Jeg ser likevel ikke helt bort fra at The Connells kan komme med interessante utgivelser i fremtiden.

 The Connells   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The title track, which originally appeared on "Ring", is a perfect example of the smooth harmonies and beautiful melodies that have come to be identified with the Connells.
Those fans not able to attend a concert are treated to live acoustic versions of "New Boy" and "Fun and Games." Recorded live during a live radio broadcast on WNNX in Atlanta, both songs showcase the band's ability to get intimate with an audience.
The highlight of the EP will likely be a cover of the Jethro Tull classic, "Living in the Past." The Connells have made this a staple of recent live shows and it's nice that fans can now take it home with them.

 Live Reviews - Richard Buckner & The Connells at The Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto
Last night there was a good old double header at the (legendary) Horseshoe, an infrequent event lately in both modern day baseball and club performances.
Soon North Carolina-based Connells took the stage for a less-than ear-catching performance.
The Connells' older material suffered even more from this stilted weak presentation -- the Horseshoe soon cleared of the crowd mainly interested in Richard Buckner.

 The Connells Still Life
It is also their most collaborative effort, suggesting that after 15 years, the Connells may only now be hitting their creative peak.
Mike Connell, who dominated the writing credits of early albums, wrote about half the songs here, so not only do we get the very best of his familiar, distinctive style, the rest of the band gets a greater chance to share their ideas and personalities.
The Connells have found a place where every shiny pop song has a yearning sadness buried within and every lament derives some joy simply through its release.
