Title: Pedro the Lion 
Artist: Pedro the Lion 
Label: Tooth and Nail Records 

Cute cover. The little lion is adorable, a real change for Tooth and Nail. Open, home-spun arrangements emphasize the lyrics, which are very intelligent. This will be a shock to hardcore Tooth and Nail fans who haven't caught on to their label's diversity. It's too mellow and light weight for my tastes, but a well-done work nonetheless. --Shari Lloyd 

There's something about this that says, "Buy me. I'm loveable!" Great packaging, interesting lyrics, a short and sweet EP. The music is less likeable; a single key, beat, and melody stretched into a complete concept is a little flat for my tastes, but you have to admire their consistency. --Linda Stonehocker
