Press Reviews
"Not your parents' art rock...soulful vocals set against an experimental backdrop of organ and drums."
—Alternative Press, May 2002
"Oh my god hails from Chicago, but their keyboard-drenched hard rock seems more appropriate for Los Angeles. The Doors spring to mind, as does commercial alternative radio...The guitarless trio is arty without forgetting the rock."
—Time Out New York, July 2001/April 2002
"Oh my god relies on organ and bass to create a sound bearing a little resemblance to a school's Klaxon system going haywire. Their geek-centric new album, 'The Action Album,' offers humorously scathing indictments of ridiculous parental bromides."
—Austin Chronicle ("Saturday Sleeper" pick for 2002 South by Southwest festival)
"Impossible to pigeonhole...OMG offers a Leslie-drenched trip through a tunnel of hypnotizing melody, where somber reverberating tones mesh with cabaret/punk quirkiness."
—Milwaukee Shepherd-Express, Critics' Choice, April 25-May 1, 2002
