Press Reviews “The indie-rock roots run deep for Wobbleshop, a California-based duo who expertly blend the Southern twang of R.E.M. with the unpredictable and emotional dynamic songwriting of Radiohead.” Mish Mash “This is a band with no fear of experimentation and the uncanny ability to use a wide variety of instruments to achieve their unique sound.” -Power Pop News by Don Krider “The results (of great instrumental arrangements) are songs like the hypnotic “Goodnight Children,” the folk-tinged ‘Rural Dakota,’ and the steady grooves of ‘Your Last Bite’ and ‘Freestyle’ (which also features a terrific vocal).” –Shake It Up by Claudio Sisso “Acoustically, 'Goodnight Children' is an odd ghost song…the accordion is a nice touch…’Your Last Bite' (jangles) nice poetry and (has) cool alternative vocals...” –Music Dish by Ben Ohmart “They can rock (as on the second track, ‘Past Perfect’), but they don't wield that power like a sledgehammer. Their secret weapons are feeling and melody, and they use both in a truly endearing way.” Pop Matters by Dave Heaton “This not only gets a most highly recommended, it gets the “pick” of this issue for “best original CD!” Music Dish by Dick Metcalf
