"Fire On Your Sleeve play a particularly catchy blend of revved-up alt-country and rock, with rough-edged vocals lending a slightly Tom Waits-ian feel..." --The Onion
"One of the newest and brightest bands in Brew-Town is Fire On Your Sleeve...Their self-titled disc is as infectious as a social disease in Vegas. Dancing is not an option..." --Maximum Ink
"Fire on Your Sleeve evokes the laid-back vibe of a late-night club show that's almost bluesy in nature. The boogie drums and guitar kick in...and keep the joint jumping." --MKE Magazine
