About Me


"Thank you Splinters & Sparrows for A Bastard, A Brother, A Foe and for reminding me what a great, weirdly nebulous subgenre alt-country is and how, despite everything, it can be surprisingly full of guts and soul...
...Massachusett’s Greg Loftus and company have zeroed right into the brawling big-heartedness you’d expect to find anywhere up and down the Blue Ridge. And it’s not posturing–it’s more like they just had the bad luck of being reincarnated on the wrong side of the Mason & Dixon...
...As much as the songs harbor a certitude about where the man’s been and who he is, there’s an equal amount of hesitation; he knows he’s right, but is that enough? I used to do a lot of 3am last-call drinking–where was this album when I finally stumbled home?"

"Displaying the fine craftsmanship of alt-country songwriting, Loftus delivers something that sounds as American as any Springsteen album you've ever heard, while bringing something entirely its own to the table. Picture the lyrical prowess of Cory Branan infused with the raw energy and punk sensibility of bands like Lucero and Drag The River.
No Taking Prisoners Tonight is an incredibly solid debut effort that is sure to turn heads in the alt-country/folk scene. The full band arrangements allow Greg's acoustic driven songs to flourish into dirty rocking romps that would fit in at any rowdy country bar."
- Tucker Riggleman of Big Bullet Records
"Greg Loftus is also indebted to the Tupelo legacy.....(They) play as if their lives depended on it.....The legacy is in good hands."
- Rootstime Magazine
"Greg and his band are truly a "working mans band". Great energy and amazing talent."
- EC Promotions
"Watch out for Sagamore Beach singer-songwriter Greg Loftus, who fills the house nearly everywhere from the Cape to Boston. He became part of the growing indie label Big Bullet Records and echoes a young Springsteen."
- Ryan Wood of Wicked Local
"Hey Greg, go get me another round of your music."
- New Hampshire Music
