In April 2006, Dear and the Headlights completed the recording of their debut record, Small Steps, Heavy Hooves with local producer Bob Hoag (Joel Plaskett, Versus the Mirror, The Format). Although Ian Metzger, PJ Waxman, Joel Marquard, Chuckie Duff and Mark Kulvinskas had only started playing shows together under the Dear and the Headlights name a year earlier, this first full-length recording had been a long time in the making.

  • Produced and Engineered by Bob Hoag at Flying Blanket Studios
  • Mastered by Roger Seibel
  • A&R: Glenn Dooley
  • Design and layout by Chuckie Duff, Joel Marquard, J.P. Manke
AOL Music Popeater Blog - Album Review
June 11, 2007

This is the best album we've heard all year. You'll fall instantaneously once you hear 'Sweet Talk,' then realize it's absolute true love when you listen to 'Run in the Front' or 'I'm Bored, Your Amorous.' Pick any track on the record and you're hooked. Period.
