hipsters

"I have been a big fan of Downtown Harvest for years now. They have an incredibly original sound. It’s like the guys took a little bit of funk, some hip-hop beats, a major case of the blues, and a pinch of rock-n-roll, threw it in a blender and poured themselves a large glass of success."

~ Andrea -- Hipsters Eat For Free.com

"Seeing Downtown Harvest live reveals what incredible musicians the guys truly are. Saxophones, synths, pounding drums and bass, and tactful guitar playing combine with multiple vocalists to fill out the band's highly danceable tunes."

out of order

"A spice of Beck, coupled with harmonized guitar parts, synth, and Nintendo-like sound effects make this a quick-witted complete album, which is a rarity in these days of hit singles. Some of the lyrics are outright childish, but are well outweighed by excellent songwriting..."

~ Cliff D. Ronning -- Sublime89x

"Before moving, I had the chance to see Downtown Harvest at the Knitting Factory for the release party of their new album, Golden Dragon. The concert was amazing and so is the album."

opening bands

"The band features driving bass and synth with guitar riffs that are comparable to very few bands. With so many different styles of music, it is hard to believe the songs have any consistency or flow; upon first listen, it sounds like a mix tape of different styles. Thankfully, this flaw does not detract from the overall likability of the album.

blogadelphonic

"The Harvesters take some familiar elements and make them sound brand new - between the heavy beats and sinewy grooves and the horn flourishes and grungy sounding guitars there's more than a handful of great songs on this record that you'll find yourself putting on repeat no matter where the party is, even if its in your own head."

chrissy reese

"I find myself in a room that is a cross between a jam studio and a living room. The band is set up in the back of a room over the bright blue carpet that decorates the floor, and under the random patches of red carpet that decorate the ceiling. Random couches, chairs, and other oddities are set up in the front of the room..."
