(Jason Damas, AMG)
"Klass writes melodic confections that seep into your psyche and stay awhile, and does so with wit and intelligence." (Gary Glauber, PopMatters)
"...steeped in pop/rock--Weezer meets Ben Folds meets The Hold Steady--leading you to sing along to songs that you’re hearing for the first time while stories unfold of relationships gone awry...." (Chuck Plummer, The Deli)
Here comes The Davenports' third record, which sets tales of love, lust, mean, money-dangling mothers, superstitious panic attacks and the like, to a torrent of guitar-driven, melodic pop.
Helmed by Brooklyn-based songwriter Scott Klass, who played alongside Chris Collingwood in the Fountains of Wayne frontman's previous band, The Davenports features Angela Webster and Tommy Borscheid (Rhett Miller), and Thomas Ward, and it has included members of They Might Be Giants and Candy Butchers.
Violinist Claudia Chopek and cellists Eleanor Norton and Garro Yellin add multiple layers of melancholy to the mix when successfully blackmailed. Robert Draghi steps on the percussive accelerator.
The Davenports’ song "Five Steps" is the theme to A&E's Emmy-nominated series, Intervention, now in its fourth season.
The Davenports' pop is a tight weave of novel, wistful melody and vivid, sometimes skewed storytelling. As stated by Kevin Matthews on MTV Asia, "Klass is able to touch hearts and nerves by marrying words and music in a seamless construct."

The Davenports Lyrics
Don't Be Mad at Me dont cry, girl, i've got your keys the highway's holy…
Five Steps Veins swell You know me, Ellen, enough to tell Five steps yo…
Freedom Every day I hear a different story People saying that you're…
I Don't Know What to Do Very funny You’re taking down your room to set it…
Leanne In the spring we lunged for the dirty, dirty drip…
Miranda in Her Room Miranda's in her room again We come before we call…
To the End Nephews and Nieces Olympic eye-rolls out of sight A lifetime…
Where Shall We Hang Elena? It was all pirouettes and purple barrettes when Elena posed…
With Me Or Against Me Where the hell is everyone I thought everyone loved this…
You I took a trip on a train And I thought about…
