Every now and then, the stars align when someone sends me their music and asks for a plug. Mike Ferraro sent a seemingly innocuous e-mail, then mentioned he was friends with Ned (aka "No Love Fo...

"A perfect pop formula."

featured review: (8.5/10)
Mmm, the sweet taste of indie pop. Everyone loves it. There's nothing better than a catchy guitar hook or a chorus that just screams to be accompanied by your amateur voice. You know w...

T: Although the artist himself describes his music as "a little bit early Dylan, a little bit Jeff Mangum and a little bit Lou Barlow", I have to say that the one comparison that sprung instantly to my mind as the opening track beg...

"Three tracks of classic indie-pop."

- Vanity Project #13 www.vanityproject.co.uk
‘Lovers Only Love’ is wrapped in just over 2 minutes, very unfussilly, but with sufficient quirk to suggest that you don’t need to go over the top to bring a contemporary freshness to the singer/songwriter thing.

- Jersey Beat, Fall '04 www.jerseybeat.com
An engagingly nice and upbeat 3-song serving of tight'n'tuneful singer-songwriter folk-pop done with a winning surplus of delicate melodicism and low-key thoughtfulness. Mike Ferraro's endearingly slight and nasal vocals radiate an ut...
- Shmat Records www.shmat.com
Great melodies on "Song For Friendship" which at times reminded me of Earlimart or Heatmiser. "Yesterday Was A Burning Plane" is an interesting half speed song with distorted guitar leading the charge through drony Sebadoh-like ambiance. ...
- Smother.net www.smother.net
With synths (Casios no less!) fused alongside his guitar based indie sound, Mike Ferraro is one artist that’s sure to emerge from the bubble. Impressive short demo--let’s hear a full length.

- Jersey Independent Music' a Weblog by Tris McCall on NJ.com "Ferraro's acoustic guitar playing is tense, precise, and tightly locked in with the vocals. The interlocking six-string performances on "Baby Brother" are quietly accomplished. When strumming, Ferraro keeps his instrument under firm control -- but it's w...
- No Front Teeth www.NoFrontTeeth.co.uk
3 tracks of pleasurably minimal acoustic folk/rock. Very atmospheric and instantly reminisces Bob Dylan and Neil Young, but it’s not as obvious as that. This is more gritty and on the punk rock side of the fence. It’s definitel...
