IMSC Ep 27 - Song 2: "I, I, I" (the EP version) by Peace, Love, and Stuff (plus Chad Taylor from his Sound Stage column in Cityview)

"It can be hard to look at Peace Love and Stuff and see much besides singer Lavonne McRoberts. Not only because she looks the part — all vintage style with Kewpie doll looks — but because she’s loud, bombastic and bursting with energy on stage. She also has the good fortune of being backed by some really excellent musicians. Guitarist Dylan Boyle’s slide work was absolutely blistering, and the rockabilly rhythms churned out by bassist Jake Doll and drummer Joe McGuire were spot-on. 'I, I, I' is my favorite track from the band."
- from Chad Taylor in his Sound Stage column in Cityview

IMSC Ep 27 - Song 4: "Bonnie and Clyde" by Peace, Love, and Stuff (plus Chad Taylor from his Cityview review of "Too Lonesome to Cry")

"Much like with the Love Songs for Lonely Monsters album last year, there has been a lot of built-up anticipation over Peace Love & Stuff’s debut full-length. Well, the wait is over, and the result is glorious. Lead singer Lavonne McRoberts is amazing live but has one of the more underrated voices in town, and guitarist Dylan Boyle is a mad genius with a slide. They are both so good, it can be easy to overlook just how vital bassist Jacob Doll and drummer Joe Mcguire are to the band’s sound. But the album is so well mixed that it is easy to pick out every instrument and understand how well these four people work together. The album contains all three songs off the previous EP as well as nine additional tracks. 'I,I,I' is my favorite, but 'Arsenic and Lace' and 'Bonnie and Clyde' fight it out to be the album’s best track.'
- from Chad Taylor in a Cityview review of "Too Lonesome to Cry"

Ep 7 - Song 3: "Since You've Been Gone" by Peace, Love, and Stuff

"Peace, Love and Stuff is a vintage rock band from Des Moines drawing inspiration from blues, rockabilly and pop.

"The band's distinct style of coupling classic chord progressions with a contemporary pop feel has been praised as a 'polished, high-energy act that’s a comfortable fit in a wide variety of lineups,' by Des Moines' Cityview magazine.

"'The vintage rock four-piece provides one of the most entertaining local shows around, and it doesn’t do it through pyrotechnics, flashy costumes (though McRoberts’ style has its own group of fans) or lighting gimmicks. Instead, the group engages its audience through the power of old-fashioned rock ‘n’ roll played really well.' (Cityview - April 16, 2014.)"
