1. To commit forcible theft of (a vehicle) from its users.
2. An over the top, one-man punk robo-rock band. Conceived & created by Lo-Fi Bri. Born & raised straight out the burbs of Detroit, Lo-Fi Bri writes, performs, & records all his own songs on a shitty, old, analog 8 track recorder, fuzzy guitars, & a drum machine. He also likes robots.
3. "Carjack: ElectroRock version of the one man band who is aided and abetted by an army of Robots! Elements of rock and dance collide with an outrageous and over the top stage show! Its like a video game where you play a punk guitar player who has to fight disco dancing robots in the near future of 1986. Definitely one to watch!"
- Lager House (Detroit, MI), June 2006
4. "Carjack: Self-effacing, yet swaggering, loose but with technical delivery, with bizarre, yet appealing antics, like watching the Superfriends meets Yogi Bear; the tall, lanky Lo-fi shakes his ass on stage almost as much as his audience rendered helpless by the explosive, beat-laden, one-man avant-garde electro rock."

5. "Carjack: Catchy, fuzzy punk rock guitars with propulsive electro beats, self-effacing vocals and 8-bit video game sounds from the '80s, using old, analog equipment to give it a noisy, "dirty" sound. "
- The Detroit Free Press , March 2007
6. "Carjack: Blips and fuzz. Guitars on Atari. Guitari? "
- The MetroTimes, March 2007

8. ""A relentless kind of chaotic-freakbeat monstrosity that guillotines genre fixations and just goes for broke, Carjack is a captivating component of Detroit's music community bringing a refreshing, tongue-in-cheek, Atari-time-warp charm, with plastic robots set atop his amps … like an Ultraman-breakdance-party. "
