PRESS FOR WILLETT COMB, MARCH 2009
"Terry McClain (who also leads his own rock outfit, Guiltless Cult), just released what he calls a “philosophical electronic-rock album that studies the longing for peace in a world full of hypocrisy, delusions and deception.” But Willett Comb, recorded under pseudonym The Realside, is more than just a bunch of conspiracy-theory gobbledygook: It’s an engaging rock record, with politically pointed lyrics couched in poetry and brought to fruit by McClain’s elastic voice and instrumental talents. (Frank)Moscowitz, who’s been popping up everywhere lately despite having relocated to New York City last fall, also contributes to a few tracks." - John Brodeur, Metroland, 2009
"Terry McClain, who is celebrating his own new solo disc, "Willett Comb," which he's releasing under the name the Realside. "It's basically a political CD that isn't overtly political," says McClain, who also leads the band Guiltless Cult. "It's more of a dialogue on America's capitalism and socialism and the struggles between collectivism and individuality." It's a sprawling concept album that fuses together hip-hop, rock, pop, reggae and more over the course of 17 songs and 76 minutes." - Greg Haymes, Times Union, 2009.
