Bryan entered the studio with a rag-tag band of musicians whose former bands were an ecclectic who's who of the early 00's Buffalo music scene. That summer Bryan and company released "In Regards to Your Affairs", a collection of Bryan's early folk material given new life by the group's unique and sometimes bizzare studio work. Though the album recieved warm reviews (earning them opening slots with Ben Lee, Evan Dando, Blue Rodeo, 54/40, Kathleen Edwards, Great Lake Swimmers, and Centromatic to name a few), they were already hard at work on their next release. By then that rag-tag group of musicians were solidifying into a serious band and wanted a recording that reflected the vast changes taking place in their sound. The summer of 2005 saw the release of "Arms of the Town". This record took the band from the drunken folk of "In Regards. . ." to a more dramatic, pop/rock feel. The album, like everything about the Old Sweethearts, resonates with a rusty optimism indiginous to their native Buffalo, NY. The city built for a million people, but home to only 300,000 and falling. The group is spending the year touring in support of "Arms of the Town" and working on material for its eventual followup. Look for The Old Sweethearts on tour this summer. press: "The Old Sweethearts are the rare type of band that are cool enough for indie nerds who pump Wilco and The Shins, and solid enough for no-attitude music lovers reared on Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen." Niagara Falls Gazzette On arms of the town: "Not just a major step forward for the Old sweethearts, but independent record-making in buffalo." Buffalo News "One of the brightest beacons on the Buffalo music horizon" "This band is gaining converts in mythical proportions with their live shows and this disc."
