"...you get the sense you're in for something different from what you expected. And this band delivers. At five songs in just under 17 minutes, Literacy Is Sexy leaves you anxious for more and eager to see just how far this young band can push its sound, which is overactive and idiosyncratic in a charmingly spirited way." - The Memphis Flyer
"On “Literacy Is Sexy,†which musically crosses a dividing line between snap crackle country jangles, pop spasms, roiling tongue tying, and dysfunctional rock, aims at the girls with public library curiosity, so-curvy vocabularies, and succulent smiles, the ones who can walk through logic like “we’re all for sale†without even blinking at the references to Fugazi and labor theory."-Left of The Dial
"... trying to sleep in the room next to a drunken, partying Brooklyn UK (god love 'em) was akin to trying to pass out while lying in the middle of a freeway. Apparently no one else lived in our friend's apartment building, because the racket produced was absolutely deafening and it lasted until, roughly, 5:30 a.m. I have no idea how we're all not still in jail because of it." - Mikey from Sadaharu's blog
"...Brooklyn U.K. are leading the way." - Memphis Magazine
"Being able to play an intstrument isn't primary in Brooklyn UK" - Michael Donahue, The Commercial Appeal.
