The Sierota siblings – Jamie (vocals/guitar), Sydney (vocals/keyboard), Noah (vocals/bass), and Graham (drums)- have been receiving widespread acclaim following the release of their debut album, Talking Dreams, on Oct. 1 of last year. Alternative Press said, “Talking Dreams would make great listening for an impressionable young person-but it’s not for kids only,” while Seventeen is lauding Sydney’s “stunning voice,” and Huffington Post has described them as “awesome and polished.” According to PopCrush, “If they are not on your radar yet, they should be,” and with the way 2014 is going, they will be soon.
