“Artificial Things” is the lead-off single from Eerie Point’s debut album Local Fame, released on Saturday, January 12, 2019. “Artificial Things” blends alternative and indie influences into a lively, driving song that speaks to the musicality and technical proficiency of each of Eerie Point’s five members. Eerie Point is comprised of Steve Becker as singer, Ryan Dalton as lead guitarist, Chase Dusseau as rhythm guitarist, Dan Hatfield as bassist, and Michael Straub as drummer. Eerie Point has been performing live since the summer of 2016 and has seen a tremendous amount of success in and around their home of Toledo, Ohio, and won the $1500 grand prize in Innovation Concerts’ Best of the Best 2018 competition. - Vents Magazine
The five members of Eerie Point blend their numerous influences – alternative, grunge, folk, and blues among them – into a sound that has drawn praise for their live performances (the band won the $1500 grand prize in Innovation Concerts’ Best of the Best 2018 competition). The Toledo-based act recently released the album Local Fame, which actually opens with a track the band has a penchant for ending live shows with (being the most requested song by fans). It’s a rousing effort, one that draws comparisons to The Walkmen and The Hold Steady with the ardent vocals and melodic progression. “A lot of our songs are bluesy, but then incorporate pop and ballad-style riffs,” bassist Dan Hatfield told Toledo City Paper. “We have a little bit of everything, and we like it that way.” - Obscure Sound
The Toledo, Ohio based band Eerie Points blend the classic elements of bands such as Kings Of Leon, in fact their sound carries a similar sound to their early work. It’s wholesome rock n roll from the United States through and through.
Their latest single ‘Artificial Things’ is taken from their recent debut album ‘Local Fame’ and boasts the bands ability to craft infectious rock music with an emotive edge. Opening up with a slow chord progression backed by sultry vocals it soon develops into a barrage of classic rock riffs. It sparks imagery of old town America, handlebar moustaches and seventies sensibility. - Clunk Magazine
