We’re in IndieRockCafe’s list of Best New DIY Music of 2015. Very kind indeed. 

[thebanquetyears]

The website entirely focused on the New York City indie rock music scene, mp3s, blog, free music, links, reviews, interviews, band and venue information, new music and more. Plus, advice about recording and musical equipment

We’re 55th place in Deli Magazine’s top 300 indie bands according to web buzz, not far behind the mighty Primal Scream. Awesome.

Clark Kent interviews Lucie Barat and The Au Revoirs/The Banquet Years

@TheEqualGround have reviewed Vortex. Apparently Art sounds like the ghost of Tom Waits! Setting aside that the writer thought the poor recording quality "took away from the experience", he thought the album a "worthy ride", the songs solid, the lyrics "clever and unique" @, and that if we continue to push our writing abilities even further, that apparently we can compete within "the upper echelon of music".
