Press Reviews
"a mix of industrial-strength molasses and tar-flavoured Cheez Whiz...air-punching space-metal " - Discorder January 1996
"Wiggler is a one man band with Ween worn on one snot encrusted sleeve and "Hairway to Steven" era Butthole Surfers on the other sleeve" - Terminal City October 5-11, 1995
"A drum machine, a man, and a million guitars. The noise doesn't end, it keeps going and going and going. It wails, soothes, rocks and sucks all within a heartbeat" - In Hell's Belly #15
"I can't decide if I like the music or the name of this band/guy best...it makes me want to wiggle. Has an old school New Romantic vibe I dig. One of the better bands I've heard in a while. If you like the Strokes or the Stooges you'll like Wiggler." - NMW 2002 jury
"Oh! F*cking! YEAH! This man no doubt wears his MC5 and Violent Femmes t-shirts with pride. This the first artist on the list that I've heard whose CD I want right now." - NMW 2002 jury
