"The Deli listens to Lonesome Jack and doesn't really know what to do with itself. We're sittin' here wondering if we should pull out our fiddle or a baseball bat and fuck some shit up punk-rock style. You see, they're all country-twang-farm-jamboree turned anarchist-power-chord-punk-angst. Now, hopefully you understand our problem. The largest problem is that we like them... a lot. For punkers (though we've heard rumors a lot of them attended ivy league schools, shhhhh don't tell), they show off some excellent song-crafting chops that blow our minds in a Decemberists' kind of way, but then they break it down all Never-Mind-The-Bullocks-ing, and we're cool with that."

"If The Pogues and early Green Day had a love child that was raised by early Mighty Mighty Bosstones and They Might Be Giants in rural Kentucky... Lonesome Jack is his cousin."
- Twang of the Void
"I do believe these guys have just started the holocaust of everything we formally accepted as music. And the best thing is it sounds damn good."
- J-Sin, smother.net
"Challenge them. Perish."
-Nicole Sonsini, Altar Magazine
"Grab a bottle, get up off your feet, and dance like a drunken fool."
-Review by Lisa Town, LEFT OF THE DIAL
"Has a giddy and infectious energy.
