Now Released!
Read what the critics have been saying about "Studio 202", the new album from Van Buren.
- "Van Buren is now the undisputed, justly rewarded king of covers. This is how they took the throne." - LA Times
- "Whether fueled by their notorious competitive camaraderie or inspired by their oldest mate's brush with mortality, the results sound like a genuine band effort -- loose, scrappy and alive." - New York Times
- "Deron and Rock are still standing -- grumpy old men, full of piss and vinegar, spite and blues chords, and they wear it well." - Chicago Tribune
- "If anything, Justin Kirk is too modest. Yeah, he's got an ego or two -- he's liable to compare himself to Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali, Bill Gates and Prince, sometimes in the same sentence. But he pours all that ego into musical ambition." - The Washington Post
- "Van Buren created a musical galaxy that encompassed the personal, the political and the spiritual." - Denver Review
- "But the music is so wild, it could make you weep over how pitilessly Van Buren keeps crushing the other bands out there." - The Free Lance Star
