"...one of the best produced Nashville pop/rock records of the year. Plan 168 is Johnny Microwave’s first full-length CD. Based on its extraordinarly high quality, I look forward to many more."--Robert Oermann, @musicrow, Dec. 5, 2006
"On the first listen, my ears were instantly affixed to Cat Miller's voice. Her approach of equal parts rock swagger and heartfelt country songstress was the kicker. Well, that and an amazing voice. Johnny Microwave's first full length, "Plan 168" follows suit with its base in roots country and its heart in true rock n' roll. From the radio friendly title track to the haunting blues of "Radio In My Head", this disc teaches how beautifully written music can parallel vocals perfectly. Imagine something like Mindy Smith meets Neil Young and you might be close to Johnny Microwave but they'll stand on proudly on their own. We think you need to check them out. R.I.Y.L.: Mindy Smith, Neil Young, The Kennedys"--“Monk,†Music Director, IndependentsOnly.com

Steve is a guitarist with a very personal playing style, while Cat's influences as a singer cut across many genres: classical, pop, and singer-songwriter rock.The songs that emerge are a vibey mixture of organic sounds, hooky melodies, and surprising instrumental textures. Stylistically eclectic, the songs are bound together by a unique musical vision influenced by artists as wide-ranging as U2 and The Hollies, Richard Thompson and George Harrison.
