Press Reviews
CityBeat Magazine
Mike Breen
"Superstar Revolution, a highly tuneful, well-crafted collection of shit-kickers and the occasional soul-stirring ballad, including "Surrender" and "America," two of the finest songs the band has ever produced. The band's ace musicianship has never come through as strongly as it does on Superstar, which also comes closest to capturing the band's infectious live energy on tape...clearly the band's most fully realized album to date."
The Cincinnati Post
Rick Bird"...a great collection of power pop/rock originals where having a good time is what this sound is all about.There is... garage band sound or a touch of twang that can hearken to alt-country... a tune here and there will remind one of the The Band's rich gritty rock.The Stapletons... simply make good-time rock meant to be played loud with heads bouncing."
Things You Should Know About Music Guide Esquire Magazine"The Stapletons have been cleaning up local music awards (they recently performed The Last Waltz in it's entirety), have packed venues across the country and have already released three records to be proud of."
Cin Weekly Magazine Kari Wethington
..."it's practically impossible to not smile while you watch the crew rock out - whether it's the energetic pop rock songs or the brothers' wild hair and charming threads."
The Cincinnati Post Rick Bird"The Stapletons are out with their second album which flashes great bluesy garage band pop. A good old fashioned rock album, meant to be played as loud as the neighbors will stand."
The Cincinnati Enquirer Larry Nager, Cincinnati Enquirer "Imagine the Black Crowes re-cast as country rockers. Newky Stapleton's lead guitars provide the instrumental edge, moving from razor sharp blues licks into twangy country rave-up and back again. Low Dealers is a rocking good time."
Indieville.com Matt Shimmer ...."they can get you humming along to songs as soon as they come on your stereo."
CdConsumer.com Sam Seiler"Gaining a reputation in the Midwest for their committed and raucous live shows, the Stapletons might just have the stuff to impact American pop music in a manner similar to the way we always expected Wilco would.."
