“Martinsburg’s Bishops writes rock songs with a catchy, smart simplicity. They’re familiar sounding, yet refreshing, and you aren’t quite sure what the band will do next. The newFeel Alive EP has an ebb and flow that reels you in, hooks you quietly with a wistful vibe, and then speeds up and gets your head bobbing. It’s a pleasant ride that you’ll be glad you took. The vocal melodies, guitar riffs, and lyrics—especially on “I Wanna Marry Rock And Roll” and “When Will I Die?”—are certain to linger in your head.”

— Danielle Conaway, WV Living

“Would you believe that if Demon Beat bassist Tucker Riggleman recruited cohort Adam Meisterhans to shred in his nascent garage rock band with Paul Cogle (Nagato/Vox Populi) that the result would be killer? Riggleman’s own singing and songwriting efforts pre-date his involvement in The Demon Beat and Prison Book Club, and hearing songs like the opener, “My Own Way,” “Happy,” and “Shit Happens” will likely excite fans of both groups. How many Demon Beat side projects can there be? Never enough! Talented dudes, each, and it’s Riggleman’s chance to stand out here.”

“Bishops is a relatively new band out of Martinsburg, WV, yet while new it’s composed of a few familiar faces: Tucker Riggleman and Adam Meisterhans of The Demon Beat. Alongside Paul Cogle and Andrew Ford, Bishops supplies more of that traditional rock ‘n’ roll sound. It’s unpretentious yet heartfelt, and it’s certainly something anyone can grab onto.”

— Morgantown Sound

“I think what I like most about the low-fi indie rock on Bishops new album is that it’s completely non pretentious. The lyrics are meaningful and the drum rhythms, bass lines, and guitar riff welcomingly familiar rock favorites. Bishops proves you don’t have to be the Frank Sinatra of singing or the Jimi Hendrix of guitar playing (although Adams can rip on guitar any time he wants) to be a great band. You just have to believe in your guts and soul and be willing to put yourself on the line.”
