What people think of St. Gods:
"I’m hesitant to describe St. Gods as a punk band; they certainly have a lot of punk influence, but they sound like an indie band at heart. It’s like someone re-mixed Modest Mouse and added a lot of distortion. I mean that in the best possible way; I love Modest Mouse, and I love distortion, and they were definitely a great band. St. Gods is definitely a band that’s worth seeing/listening to if you get the chance." Ratso for Magazine 33
"…they’re good. It sounds like only the rock&roll parts of early Bright Eyes, minus the cloying cutesyness. Maybe a little early Built to Spill in there, as well. It’s worthwhile…They could also be categorized as a degree of punk; they sound heavily influenced by Modest Mouse and I mean that in a good way."-Nailgun Media
"Started last year as the full-band incarnation of fourth-year Caleb L’Etoile’s songwriting ventures, St. Gods is more a collective of musicians than a regular band. At times performing with as many as six musicians and at times as few as two, seeing St. God’s always promises an interesting show. Arrangement is straightforward but powerful and L’Etoile’s songwriting is always good. "-The Declaration
"Openers St. God’s Hospital played an impressive set. This band is the full-scale incarnation of U.Va. third-year Caleb L’Etoile’s most recent songwriting ventures. Abrasive but ear-catching vocals and melodies, and a loud, in-your-face, but still tight arrangement made it easy to be captivated by the sound springing off the stage."-The Declaration
