Press Reviews "Blueprints from the early R.E.M. and the late Jay Farrar stylebooks, merged into a propulsive pop gem I can't get out of my head... (Full Speed Lobotomy) is a jaunty and catchy little number." ---KDHX 88.1 FM (St. Louis)Wednesday Morning Show DJ Steve Pick; "All in all, Troubling Times introduces you to an interesting musician and leaves you wanting more-- just what a good EP is supposed to do." ---PLAYBACK St. Louis (Feb. 2003); "Saathoff plays folky bar-rock with pop crossover potential... The 'Fresh' EP shows his ability to play folky soft tunes, as well as his ability to rock out." ---Washington U./St. Louis radio station KWUR 90.3 FM music editor
