Its not the first but its certainly been a long time. A local band that actually sounds good. This is a group that deserves to be noticed.
I heard someone in the crowd say the other day "it looks like he is making love to the microphone" they followed up with saying he plays and sings with such passion, their show at a local joint this past week definately created a buzz that soon will not fizzle out. Check them out, its worth it.

The Study Band is a great addition to the Las Vegas music scene. It is very rare that a band comes out of this town with a genuinely different sound. This band will show you what true talent is.

With Las Vegas being such a "scene" for upcoming bands, I haven't seen one worth watching in quite sometime. The Study Band shows promise for the future of music and Vegas. Great show the other night, keep it up boys.

i've seen the study band live at least 4 times and each time it is something special. amazing energy and eloquence, incredibly catchy but slightly off-kilter.

I Love You Guys!
Ive never seen you live but from what Ive heard on myspace Im positive you would put on a great show.
These guys have a lot of personality and I admire their personal relationships with fans.

I thoroughly enjoy The Study Band. Great, catchy music along with an amazing, high-energy live show. They get a ten out of ten in my book.

I'd love to say I ran across them, but I'm afraid The Study Band ran across me a few months back. Ever since, I have been hooked. With a sound I don't hear everywhere, and a passion in their music that sometimes seems lost for most mainstream bands -- They are bound to make a name for themselves, and have made a fan of me quickly. I also give serious props to Keith, for being so open to relate with the fans! I wish them all the luck in the world!

I love these guys, I met them one night when I was working the doors at a local venue near my house and my friend and I took them to a diner after the show. Pennsylvania misses them, but they've got a better shot here. Trust me, they deserve it. They're soooo good live, it shocked me that people could actually sound just like their recordings. They love what they do, and a lot of people love the music. Good luck kids !

This band puts on a killer live show. Tight musician ship, heart felt lyrics, and genuinely good people. Additionally their beard(s) are bushy and they melt faces like government grilled cheese sandwiches. Give em a shot you will not be disappointed!!!!!

The Study Band takes your breath away with their talent.. I have seen them live 3 times and each time it leaves me speechless. This band truly deserves to be given this opportunity... their music keeps you wanting more from them, and they give it. You will not be disappointed AT ALL!

The Study Band makes wonderful music, and I hope you guys put them on the cover, they deserve it!

I have booked The Study Band many times in the past and whether it be acoustic or full band they always blow me away.

These guys fuse various genres with an energy that I haven't seen in Vegas... ever. Wonderfully unique, and very down to earth guys.

Every time I've seen them, they have put on an amazing show. I've had the opportunity to see these dudes 3 times, and each time its been full of energy and passion for the music, something that a lot of bands lack nowadays.

The Study Band is worth checking out- because once you see them, you'll be wanting more. This is the only local band that could get me out to their concerts in 7 years! I'm so happy to have them and their music here in Las Vegas. They are awesome live and on CD, and I can't wait to hear what they have next. I love their passion and energy. I really liked the show at Beauty Bar when the drummer played with no shirt and an Indian headdress on! They Rock!!!

good to hear a band with a solid vocalist that is trying to do something a little different. sweet jams!

Unbelievable talent, passionate performances, and an undefinable sound that creates its own genre as its being played. Mad props to Eric on vocals and Jack Roberts kills it on piano. The skill level borders on genius and it shows. Its like hearing Radiohead before the release of "Creep," and just hoping they get their love. Mad kudos guys. Keep up the solid work.

You won't see a more impassioned performance, hear more honest and wholehearted lyrics, or meet more fun and down to earth guys. Even seeing them just practice blew me away. Do yourself a favor and see them live and blast them on your stereo. They're how music should be. The east coast misses them muchly!

You guys are by far one of my favorite bands around man I listen to you all the time I make copys of the cd for my friends and give it to them without even telling them cuz I know they'll love it. I can't wait till you guys come back east so we can play a show together again. AHHHHH Long Live THE STUDY!!!!

The Study Band is a group of talented, creative, hardworking, & friendly guys who aren't just playing music they are creating art!! When you sift through all the "up & coming" indie bands out there now, The Study Band shows the most potential of a long lasting band who won't bore you with the same music you've heard. Each musical endeavor will only mature them more & make their genius more noticeable.

These guys are one hell of a show. If you missed The Unicorns or Islands, THIS IS THE BAND TO CONTINUE THE LEGACY!!!

Trust me on this one, DO NOT SLEEP ON THE STUDY!!!!!!

Eric Morelli and the Study Band returned faith to me not only in music but also people!

Aaaaaaaye Ohhhhhh!!!!! There (there, their, they're) they are . . . I'm very aroused, by The Study Band! . . These gentlemen play some fantastic music and that fact is only overshadowed by their even bigger hearts, and the fistfulls of fun they bring to every occasion! It has been a pleasure friend-os. Keep up the easy listenin'.

Great guys, great music. I'm in Brooklyn and I love to listen to them on myspace! Keep up the good work fellas.

Consistency, Drive, and Power.
Sounds like a gimmicky advertisement for a vibrator, or maybe even a new BMW. Wrong on both accounts. The Study Band transcends the typical "cool guy" vibe of many new artists, that and the whole "new artist" sound alike. Hearing this band in person is a true treat. Great guys, great music. If they don't make the cover of this magazine, I think Mike Tyson should, or possibly a collaborative effort.

Although I have not had the opportunity to see The Study live, their CD is amazing. Every time I listen to it, it gets even better. The songs are complex, but catchy and the wording is pure poetry. They have talented instrumentals mixed with creative artistic wordplay. They are truly headed for greatness, purely amazing.
