"The four-piece, flat-out rock'n'roll act provokes dancing, eyes-closed head swaying and fans who belt out the powerful lyrics as though tthe songs are the anthems of their lives. With occasionally brooding and consistently exhilarating material, if Little Brazil doesn't suck you in, check your pulse."
- Layne Gabriel - The Omaha Reader
"?Now? has a simple chord progression, a swaying 6/8 beat and lots of sighing-then-screaming mood changes: by the time you're finished figuring out whether you like it, the song's already over and more likely than not, already stuck in your head"
- Sanneh - The New York Times
"Landon Hedges face is already familiar to those with a hankering for all things Saddle Creek (which, judging by the numbers, must be some 75 percent of current college rock afficionados), as he's logged time as a touring member in both Conor Oberst's spaz-rock band Desaparecidos and Tim Kasher's Cure acolytes the Good Life. Now he's setting out to conquer the young and earnest masses with his own band, Little Brazil. Judging by the strength of the three songs on his band's debut EP, he's got a good shot at pulling it off. Mixing a pleasant low-key singing voice with both Prom-styled piano pop and more visceral tuneage in the vein of Nebraskan forebears like Cursive it seem there's plenty to look forward to on the debut full-length, You & Me, due out early next year."
- Rob Van Alstyne - Pulse of the Twin Cities
"When Mt. Fuji Records' Little Brazil brings along a few friends, turns up the amps and tears up a stage, you know it's a party. In fact, prepare for a hangover the next day whether you drank too much or not."
- Wayne Brekke - THe Omaha Weekley Reader
"Little Brazil`s debut release "You and Me," on Seattle indie Mt. Fuji Records, is a Beatle-esque future classic, sure to draw comparisons with Superchunk, Guided By Voices, Brendan Benson, and Pedro The Lion. Comparisons aside, Little Brazil`s "You and Me" is a powerful debut chock full of melodic hooks, rock energy, and raw emotion."

"Since their inception, Little Brazil has built up a rabid fan base in the Omaha scene with their reputation for high-energy shows and stuck-in-your-head songs."
