The Workaholics A&R blog

"The Workaholics are a collision of 80s new wave and 90s guitar pop -mashing the active, wiry bass lines and airy keyboards of the mid-80s with the perky, bright guitar lines of the mid 90s. The vocals hop back and forth between eras - often sullen and dour, but sometimes cheeky and exultant. Falling somewhere between Interpol and Third Eye Blind, the Workaholics explore a strange fusion of genres that works - after you wrap your head around it for a bit. Check Guardian Angel for the most mind-bending trip." Stephen Carradini - Editor in chief, IndependentClauses.com

"5 talented musicians from Athens, Greece with a unique sound that crosses many genres. The best way I can describe it is a blend of 80s pop and modern indie rock with a touch of alternative thrown in. Kind of like A-HA meets The Strokes. Who cares what you call it, the result is very enjoyable. Well written catchy melodies and smooth vocals. I haven't been able to get Astroboy out of my head all week. Hopefully this is just a taste of what is to come for this band and there will be an album in the very near future. I for one will be looking for it." CdReviewsByYou.com

"The Workaholics proved once more what an explosive bunch of pros they are. They had the floor heaving and jumping, with their personal brand of power pop and sass. Enough said, we don't want to spoil them with too much praise, they might get big headed and start snobbing us." Vishy Moghan, Bad Mathematics

"As I was looking at the participants' list, it wasn't difficult to pinpoint the title of the band you are about to hear: The Workaholics. First, I listened to Astroboy, that as a title also possesses something direct and attractive. As the sound of the tight rhythm section and that tremendously catchy riff in the guitars and the keyboards passed through my headphones, I realized that the strength of this band is exactly its direct charm. The jury, as if prearranged, was also taken over unanimously by their majestic workaholism. Now it's your turn." Foivos Delivorias, musician - Juror, Coca-Cola Soundwave 2007

"By their name only, they boldly declare themselves as hard workers. A tight quintet of course, with rock ‘n’ roll air and vocals, they seem to be the band that can win you over when performing live. In the studio, however, they seem to need an experienced and perceptive producer in order to bring out their “dirtier” elements. All in all, they’ve got that “something” that makes them stand out from the pile." Paris Papavlasopoulos, mixtape.gr
