"The Motor City’s fabbest new foursome has finally squeezed a year and a half of late-night drives, in-person blow-outs, busted A/Cs, and grass roots-fueled rock ‘n’ roll onto a new slab of wax that will really turn your head. After dominating the Midwest circuit with nothing but word-of-mouth, a couple of demos, and harmonies bright enough to make mods and rockers make peace, Mod Lang delivers a debut LP that proves they weren’t another hype band that some old geezer told you about.

Tracked mostly live and bounced down to reel-to-reel, B.T. is a direct and concise attempt at a pure pop album. Across the ten tracks, you’ll hear messages about hopeless romanticism, disillusionment of everyday life, urban alienation, and rock ‘n’ roll mythology.

Starting with the opener 'What I Can’t Have,' the true heart of the record, guitarists-vocalists Antonio Keka and Alex Belfie’s Beatles vs Stones melodies set the tone for the remaining 30 minutes. The beat-driven 'Cocamoda' reportedly emerged from a gibberish jam that tells a comical tale about a loved one getting put into jail while showing off the impressive rhythmic force of bassist Ava East and drummer Ben Taber. 'These Words' is proof Keka and Belfie got the brains and ragged charm for writing clear, infectious melodies. Both 'Big House' and 'Borrowed Time' come on hard with a level of breathless energy that borders on frenzy — investing pop for a rawer, looser, and altogether more thrilling sound. To close, “In The Morning” presents a more stripped-down side of the group with its Everly-tight harmonies and raw interlocking acoustic guitars.

Mod Lang is part of the few U.S. groups steering pop rock ‘n’ roll in the right direction (see also Lemon Twigs, Uni Boys, and Sharp Pins). Now hush up, gather ’round, and hear the beat of Mod Lang!"
