What people are saying about Painkiller Hotel...
"Black Roses is strong, consistent in quality and power throughout its ten tracks. It's almost hard to believe that this is the band's debut, because their sound has a certain comfortable familiarity to it. Some of these songs seem to be made for radio airplay: smooth, polished and accessible, but still very much in the category of rock n' roll. Highly recommended."
-Abigail Wright
“It should surprise no one when Painkiller Hotel is finally named a VH1 Artist of the Month†The Trades Magazine
“Painkiller Hotel seems like a band that’s ready to jump to the majors and start filling arenas and mugging for VH1 any minute†ALL MUSIC Magazine
“On the dawn of their big break, they are prepared with radio-ready songs and experience†- The Beacon News
“Following their performance at the 2007 South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, TX where the best Indy bands go to impress the masses, the release of their debut album Black Roses this past May, and airplay on 160 radio stations nation wide including 93 WXRT Chicago, this Aurora based rock quartet is quickly making a name for themselves.†- Suburban Nitelife Magazine
“For the debut release, their record holds up stylistically, sonically, and song for song to anything you would hear on main stream radio today.†- Suburban Nitelife Magazine
“Drawing comparisons to 90’s rockers Pearl Jam, Matchbox 20, Tonic, and Live with the sentimental songwriting style of John Mayer, it seems Painkiller Hotel has found it’s niche in the music community. Performing a tiresome jam packed schedule of 100-120 tour dates a year over the last few years, the group comprised of bassist Adam Harker, guitarist Klaus Luchs, and drummer Jeff Kissel is putting on a live show that is a MUST SEE.†- Suburban Nitelife Magazine
“The songs are screaming for big-time attentionâ€
The Trades Magazine
“With strong guitars and great vocals, Black Roses is an album that sticks with you. As one of the first albums of 2008, this album is a sign of good things to come in the music business†Lumino Magazine
“Chicago rock quartet Painkiller Hotel, led by singer/guitarist Kevin Presbrey plays melodic mainstream rock of a sort that, when marketed well, often sells in the millionsâ€
