"intimate, precisely observed and wonderfully lo-fi indie pop. literate and catchy, it's the perfect complement to an evening of PBRs and heartbreak. for fans of pavement and death cab for cutie." kris collins, desolation row records

"For a band that wears its singular influence so clearly on its collective sleeve (Pavement, circa 1992-94), the newly formed Workshop has released an imminently listenable -- and even somewhat original -- six-song EP. The self-titled, self-released disc is perhaps slowly, sludgier and less influenced by Northern Cali listlessness than Slanted and Enchanted or Crooked Rain, and its great two-person vocal harmonies practically beg for repeated spins. A truly impressive, albeit mighty depressive, first release." Dan Eldridge, Pittsburgh City Paper


flashback to fall 2003. scott and jonathan begin making music for a graduate poetry class at the university of pittsburgh. soon thereafter they start playing covers: pavement, silver jews, mojave 3, bonnie prince billy. classic indie rock. with a little temerity they take a stab at writing their own songsthe two gentlemen on guitars, taking turns on vocals. or more commonly, singing together.


an ep's worth of songs is currently for sale at desolation row records (in caliban books, pittsburgh.), paul's cds (pgh.), and the record exchange (squirrel hill, pgh.).


summer 2006 kurt garrison (drums) and john zebrowski (bass) join the band.
