The "Searching for Slumber" EP, Vien's latest effort, has received rave reviews. With Mike Gagain returning on lead guitar, Luke Mackenzie(The Floating Abigail's) on bass, Brett Robertson on drums, and produced by Joey Vantol of Waking Alone Productions, the album turned out to be a great success.

"..He has a really smooth sound but still rocks..." Jade Springart Host of Undercover Sound System RIFF2/Detroit http://kkbbezine.com/2011/04/27/sallysnow/ "How Low" Maybe you know this, too: you hear a song for the first time and get the feeling like you always knew this one? Maybe it’s this swinging groove getting across, as if the FOO FIGHTERS met the QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE on an off-the-cuff Garage-happening. Melancholic and yet so uplifting - carrying you off immediately… quite snotty, brashly and yet so routinely clever to the point. With “How Low” sAlly snow has come up with such a catchy Alternative Rock party-tune that will leave no one sit/stand still, for sure! http://www.besonic.com/User/g0r0l0t2o0i738273s1/reviews.html "Something to Hate" "I love this track. Great vocals with plenty of emotion. Great production too. One of the best straight on rock songs I've heard in a long time..." http://www.mp3unsigned.com/ReadYourComments.asp "...Great powerful emotive vocals, solid drums and guitar. Sounds like you guys are great live given the energy of this track..." http://www.mp3unsigned.com/ReadYourComments.asp "Bruises" "...such a clever thing in the best (early) FOO FIGHTERS-tradition, which is hard to escape when it's just invaded. Along with "How Low "absolutely essential recommendation for every Indie/Alternative-Rock-fan!" http://www.besonic.com/User/g0r0l0t2o4862i738273/article.html
