What the critics are saying
"9 out of 10. The tracks sound so normal, and they're so disturbing. I don't know how they do it, and I'm not sure I really want to. This is music for the Apocalypse, a few days before the trumpets begin blowing."
- Music-Reviewer.com
4 out of 5! "A true album. There's a certain swagger to the sound of a band at the top of their game...a vibe that can't be created or rehearsed...but an audience can feel it. Double Happiness is brimming with that kind of confidence.
Music Matters Magazine (August 07)
"...the record's...feel and vibe is daring, upbeat, and filled with righteous fire - the kind of guitar-based rock that makes you want to turn it up LOUD AS F*CK and laugh while the downstairs neighbors beat viciously on the floor with a broom handle. We need more of this kind of shameless, brash, spit n' guts rock an' roll on the boards of our...stages."
- Reveille Magazine
"Double Happiness is a soundtrack to the mid-life crisis soundtrack - a monster of an album wrapped in bluesy garage rock, 60's psychedelica and yes, some Americana roots rock."
- Perfect Porridge
"The Truckee Brothers retain their brilliant flair for grimy, almost Zappa-esque, and obscene lyrics."
- San Diego Reader

"These guys' dazzling talent left me ... humbled by their precipitous powers. Humbled, I say! Exceptional songcraft, elaborate arrangements, wholly unique style, ferocious performance...they can single-handedly save rock 'n' roll from itself. No hype - we're seriously talking timeless, world-class goods here, people."
- BUDDY BLUE. San Diego Union Tribune.
"Hell, I wanna share the stage with them, get on the same bill at a gig in San Diego or wherever."
- Mike Watt (Minutemen/Stooges)
"Paul, I wanna introduce you to some friends of mine. They're the TRUCKEEBROTHERS and they F%&in rock!"
- Lucinda Williams to Paul Westerberg (The Replacements)
Peat and Cady Truckee weave their constant harmonies, each testing their...guitars to their rock ‘n’ roll limits, bashing away percussively like the strings were a horrible ex-girlfriend. Their sound is sharp and punchy, their lyrics bubbling with innuendo, and ...their songs are explosive."
- Helen Keen - MAVERICK MAGAZINE (UK)
"A certifiable gem of a record though you'll be left scratching your head wondering why exactly"
- Mark Barton - LOOSINGTODAY (UK)
"...the greatest line penned in quite some time - 'She's and angel, but like a fly, I have an urge to pull off her wings' - this is an exciting new noise..."
- Troy Johnson - San Diego City Beat/Fox Rocks
"Each song is a hit...it's incredible that [the EP] was recorded in just three days!"
- komakino 'zine - Italy
"4 out of 4 stars!"
- San Diego Union Tribune
