"Your album fuckin rocks!!! You gave me a 3 times a day Luxury Sweets habit. Can't wait to catch you guys again." -Greg
REVIEW IN METRO SANTA CRUZ 9/26/07(Indie rock!?!?)
"...The first was Luxury Sweets, an indie-rock quintet wallowing in catchy pop melodies blackened by gritty guitar riffs and eccentric vocals by frontman Kevin Oneder [Bread]. A dual guitar attack kept the riffage at maximum strength while Oneder whoa-woah-whoa-ed his way through the set. Old-school influences like the Rolling Stones and the Kinks were definitely present, as were the newer rock sounds of bands like the Strokes. A solid live performance and an impressive collection of original rock & roll made Luxury Sweets a standout band with plenty of potential, both locally and beyond."
Trash-rock revivalist the Luxury Sweets represent the other end of the local indie generational spectrum, and the Huxtables' bratty brother is bound to keep the old guard on its toes with some of the most whip-smart, melodic blasts of dollar-store rock & roll this side of Johnny Thunders....Paul Davis(Metro Santa Cruz)ONE HALF ROCK AND THE OTHER HALF ROLL
