"a remarkably well-crafted set of jangly power pop packed with rich harmonies and indelible hooks " - KEXP 90.3 FM

"You gotta love the name! And they live up top it! BIG TIME! ... Very Brit-Pop leaning and bursting with jangly and crunchy guitars! A brilliant debut! GREAT!!!" - Kool Kat Musik

"simply a great powerpop album" - Seattle Powerpop Blog

"full of hooks and dripping with vocal and instrumental harmonies that would make The La's blush" - Three Imaginary Girls

"a perfect hybrid of jangled-up pop delight. . . extremely highly recommended!!!" - Not Lame

"a damn good pop band. . . Rich jangley guitars and melodic chorus, with a bit more muscle than your average pop band. . . . these guys are special." - Powerpopaholic
