Quotes:
"All bands are essentially supervillians trying to kill James Bond (that’s you.) Far too many bands are Jaws, all metal teeth and brute force. Rocket Surgery is Goldfinger—super-precise crotch laser and all." - Chief Magazine
"The most exciting thing about Rocket Surgery is how difficult it is to categorize their sound. What I can say is that their chaos is calculated." - proj-tr.com
"One minute you will be involved in some bizzaro Frank Zappa-inspired universe, the next cascading down a Rascal Reporters styled musical nightmare, and ultimately participating in what can only be described as a psychedelic love fest between Sonic Youth, King Crimson, The Chipmunks, Pink Floyd, and Captain Beefheart." - Sea of Tranquility
"A duo of New York City musicians who go about synths and guitars to create experimental, passionate, brash, cogent music which is really hard to peg." - a limerick ox
"Lyrics and music alike feel overwhelmingly apocalyptic." - Sputnik Music
