Sounds Like: "They’re young, they’re crazy, and they write good pop songs. catchy, upbeat pop songs. The Pizazz won’t bore you with the same old detroit rock n roll sound-- they’ll dazzle you with a fresh approach to indie/new wavey rock. songs to hum along to, songs to sing while driving in the car. this one is really worth your time."
- Windy & Carl
"Bizarre, sorta spazzy organ led pop, punk weirdness. Really refreshing and interesting and great. It’s like New Wave, but not in a retro-chic, sideshow sorta way. I’ll buy a drink for anybody who can help tell me what exactly they sound like. Is it the future? I hope so.”
- Rich Hanson
