Press Reviews "Rich, fuzzy guitar tones, slinky beats, and confident vocals . . . feed your intellectural appetite on their mysterious lyrics."-Screed Music ’Zine (Cincinnati) * "Poppy but never trite, highlighted by enchanting, sugary vocals and the music’s eccentric yet accessible aesthetic."-Cincinnati CityBeat * "Super short tunes, petite girly vocals, rackety playing, shifting time signatures . . . fun stuff, but why haven’t these indie rockers taken over Cincinnnati yet?" -Everybody’s News (Cincinnati) * "Very short pop shots with an occasional burst of noise. Very catchy, really, and vocals from Paris Triger that are more than just easy on the ears." -Tommy Tearaway’s Reviews * ". . . songs that sound a little different but in the way that keeps you interested not guessing."-Punk Planet * "Manages to slap the face of convention . . . there is never a moment when you know what is going to happen next."-Rogue (America Online) * "Rough, fractured rock with a psychedelic haze and surreal lyrics . . . Funny (not ha-ha) starts and stops give the songs a tentative, experimental feel."-Jim Santos’ Demo Universe
