Press Reviews HECKLER MAGAZINE- "This is one of the finest examples of power pop I've ever heard." - Sonny Mayugba POPMATTERS.COM- "...in a different era of American music this would be on the charts rather than relegated to indie status." IN MUSIC WE TRUST- "Hook laden, organ-drenched power pop with a sweet tooth." INK19- "resembles the cheerful, mid-'90s pop of Zumpano", "[Crushstory] might prove as refreshing for indie-rock as Creeper Lagoon and the best of the Post-Pavement camp."
