Press Reviews "Rockers with IQs at higher numbers than their inseams" - THE BOSTON GLOBE "Breezily accesible and unpretentious, eminently smart, tart and groovy melodic pop. The bristling arrangements, droll, witty lyrics, snazzy hooks. Dynamic playing, idiosyncratic sensiblity, and ribe robust vocals make this darling one hugely enjoyable and rewarding listen. Catchy, clever, and real goddamn cool" - JERSEY BEAT "The best thing about band, as far as I'm concerned, is that they manage to be the opposite of trite; innovative, and yet at the same time accessible and unpretentious. They always serve up a savory, if sometimes exotic-cum-vulgar dinner. Listening to this is sorta like finding pate fois gras on a flaming Pu Pu platter. Worth several dozen listens." - THE NOISE
