Reviews

Meaningful beyond description.

- Spank
These are indie rock songs that are heartfeltand intriguing...

- Delusions of Adequacy
Until I had heard Past Worn Searching I figured I was finished being amazed bydelivery. I wasn't.

- Rocket Fuel
Rainer Maria takes a unique approach to traditional emocore on Past Worn Searching, building their frenetic songs from a groundwork of delicate guitars and lovely male/female duet vocals.
