The band may deal in big hooks and songs that fall under the larger umbrella term of “punk,” but it’s always felt more akin to Superchunk at its most energized and rocking as opposed to its snotty, fast-paced peers. Sundials may always get called pop-punk, but it’s the kind that avoids all of the style’s tropes, making for an invigorating take on a genre that’s so often painted by numbers…strengthens the band’s link to the modern punk scene while still sounding like a band someone would have discovered via a ’90s Merge Records mail order catalog.”- AV Club “…splits that fine line between melodic punk and indie rock. It jangles but it’s driving, the production clear but unpolished, and there’s enough hooks on this thing to have guaranteed it a spot on a ’90s college radio station.”-BrooklynVegan “…it’s clear that the trio knows exactly who they are musically. Shooting off from classic, clear-cut pop-punk, Sundials meet somewhere between college rock and ‘90s emo.”- Wondering Sound Richmond, VA indie rock three piece Sundials are streaming their new 6 song EP “Kick” on AV Club.
