The Measure [sa] is a punk rock band from New Brunswick, New Jersey. They are Fid, Lauren, Andrew and Mikey. Strictly Analog. Somewhat Attractive. Seldom Appropriate.


Now I'm sure that most bands love making music together, but once in a while the excitement people have for what they are doing spills across into the final product, as is the case with the Measure's debut album, Historical Fiction....Historical Fiction is an exciting debut album. -Punknews.org

“Historical Fiction” is a fast paced, in-your-face-without-being-intimidating album. For the most part, The Measure (SA) shows a lot of promise as one of the up-and-coming acts of a genre that many people have given up hope on. -Wonkavision

As soon as the first song kicks in, you know that The Measure [SA] love music just as much as you do, if not more...remember that no matter how bad the music industry scene may be, there are always going to be people making amazing records for no other reason than because they want to. - dieshellsuit.co.uk

Its inventive, raw, and powerful. Ive listened to it at least once a day for the past two months and dont see myself stopping. Megan Pants @ Razorcake

The entire record plays like its holding you close while dancing and singing in your ear. Neck and neck with Fifth Hour Heros Not Revenge for coming completely out of left field and handing my ass to me. Todd Taylor @ Razorcake

Union Pool 7" - Can you bottle exuberance? Just sheer joy? Can it be dabbed behind your ear like a perfume? It sure as hell can be captured on vinyl and The Measure’s got its number: über-earnest, let’s-get-this-shit-right, dual vocals DIY punk that’s disregarding paint-by-numberisms...Like a supercharged Discount? Like watching otters magically frolic and play instruments? Like the best basement show, glasses fogged, windows steamed? Contagious? Yes, yes, and yes. –Todd Taylor @ Razorcake Read more on Last.fm.
