"Boo And Boo Too have nailed down that manic brand of New York claustrophobia last achieved in the Walkmen’s debut—except they’re from Lawrence, Kansas." - www.paperthinwalls.com
"[Boo and Boo Too] rock like they’ve spent the last five years trapped in a van on tour with Pavement, My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth. They squelch and squall guitar feedback like it was a fourth, unnamed member whose sole purpose was to remind everyone what indie rock used to be like, and on that count they deliver." - www.strandedinstereo.com
"Like a perky bastard child of The Walkmen and Sonic Youth on Red Bull, the band batter their instruments into submission. Noise and feedback have rarely been played with such poppy purpose." - www.besttuna.blogspot.com
"Boo and Boo Too is a thrift store for sound, for sure. Yeah, yeah: punk-pop squawk uneasily buttressed by f(r)actious guitar noise, chaos contained by a thin membrane of control and a tiny salute to no wave. But also that elusive, near-impossible to articulate quality -- charisma." - www.shakeyourfist.blogspot.com
"Unwitting anglophiles, this Kansas band take all the best bits of early Wire and Wedding Present, and wrap them up in a neat little bundle of more modern references like Liars and Broken Social Scene." - www.subba-cultcha.com
"Easily the most exciting EP release I heard this year, Ian and I haven't stopped talking about Boo and Boo Too since we heard this. It's really addictive loud and noisy rock, in the vein of your favorite feedback filled Sonic Youth songs." - www.omahype.com
"Sludgy, dreamy, new wave influenced wall of sound pop..." - www.toddpnyc.com
"Boo and Boo Too plays an impassioned, timeless sort of emo-punk. The Lawrence, KS, band's yearning vocals and wistful guitars make us nostalgic for those indie-rock mix-tapes we used to put together in high school." - Time Out New York

"Lastly was Boo & Boo Too, who (the opposite of The Mad Gregs) I expected to like but didn't. The music on their myspace kind of reminded me of Electric Six (who I'm seeing in concert, on a cruise, on Thursday! yay!) and so I expected them to be really interesting performers. They weren't really. Before they started playing, they turned everything up about as loud as it would go for no real reason since we were in such a small venue. Luckily they provided ear plugs. But this further made me expect a really high energy, interesting performance. I must say I was disappointed. Besides a lot of flailing and twitching by the guitar players (which was only interesting for a few minutes), they basically lacked energy. The one flailing about the most wasn't even on the stage (there wouldn't have been room for him to flail) and had his back toward the audience basically the entire time. And at least one of them (if not all of them) was totally wasted and kept falling off the stage (the stage was only like 4 inches off the ground, but still). Plus I hate people who act like rock stars when they're not and the wasted guitar player at one point knocked the microphone stand over for no reason really aggressively, which is just disrespectful to expensive equipment. If you can't afford to replace it, that means you don't have enough credibility/reason to throw it on the ground. Sorry guys."
