Biography
"...an explosively original voice pushing against the confines of classic sounds. From bent, Dylanesque blues to Clash-inspired rock and motor-mouthed rap, the music Reilly has made with his band, the Ike Reilly Assassination, has been funny and profane, righteous and raging, provocative and occasionally profound." - No Depression "...Reilly cushions the mirror he holds up to society with deliveries that are calm, catchy and arresting, albeit a little bit rowdy sometimes. But don't be deceived by the folksy and country influences: His music is rooted in punk-rock rebellion... The tracks on this album are coated with the grime and grit of reality, but through that, the moments of beauty he finds shine through even brighter." - Chicago Daily Herald "With Because the Angels, Reilly continues to ooze the flair and charisma of a streetwise poet while confronting a dystopian world in which ordinary folks are constantly being let down and forced to watch their hopes and dreams slip away. At the heart of it all, though — heart being the operative word — remains a defiant urge for transcendence." - No Depression
