With one album under their belt and an experimental Suite due out Fall of 2013, the group is evolving from its initial Noir Pop sound to explore the darker, weirder corners of themselves. Band leader and keyboardist Rob Shelton provides the skeleton for the songs, while vocalist Emily Ritz, vibraphonist Mark Clifford, and drummer Ross McIntire pack on the flesh."Killer lyrics with the insinuating pulse of vibraphones." - San Francisco Chronicle, Andrew Gilbert "Of the vast wasteland that the Internet’s become, you can still find a few undiscovered gems if you look hard enough — and Dreams (DRMS) is a perfect example…”- MTV Hive, Mike Ayers"The voice of Billie Holiday blended with a drop of folk and an electro-infused ka-pow of Afro-pop. It's the stuff of dreams, isn't it? Sort of. Dreams (DRMS), besides being the mind's subconscious porthole, is a new East Bay indie supergroup." - Music Editor, Emily Savage, of San Francisco Bay Guardian"The biggest surprise of the evening was the newly-formed DRMS... a dynamic tidal wave. The display of musicianship by the band was peerless. Brazilian jazz and pure rock experimentation worked side by side, but the result was something that sounded very new..."- SF Weekly, Casey Burchby "...bewitching brand of indie pop-rock. Ritz's entrancing voice leads the way through the tantalizing, trippy journeys each song provides... Within moments of turning on this album, it will turn you on. You'll be utterly caught up in its unique spell." - Paul Freeman, San Jose Mercury NewsBattlehooch“Fearlessly experimental, boundlessly energetic...you canʼt help but wonder what the weatherʼs like on their planet.” – NME Magazine (print)"One of the band’s core strengths is making music that simultaneously maddeningly complicated and broadly accessible... For my money, they’re the best local band in the Bay Area." – The Bay Bridged (SF)“Every person in the crowd was moving to the music--it was hard to resist. Even after they finished, my foot was tapping to the ghost of their set.” – LA Record"All six band members pranced around the stage with infectious enthusiasm and wide-eyed craziness that endeared them to an increasingly smitten audience... ...Much to its credit, the band reminded us what concerts are supposed to be like -- impossibly fun.” – SF Weekly
