    Press Reviews
    "This is punk as punk should be. Think early Femmes. The vocalist is obviously off his medication or using amphetamines to maintain that pace and the lyrics are whimsical and witty. The beat is cool and the musicians might or might not have held these instruments before. I really like this. Makes me want to go to a bar. But, alas, I'm not allowed." - TheWhisperKings - Plain City, Ohio .....".... there’s lots of potential here.. the whole idea of the song and the subject matter and what is said is clever. And it’s a fun track to listen to." - Stiff Johnson, Producer, Studio 4 Recording and Tongue and Groove Recording. ..."Cynica is definitely a Punk band but with clean guitars. You¹re constantly expecting a distorted guitar to come crashing in but it never happens and it¹s a refreshing change. Some of the tracks are just singer and guitar and others are with a full band... As for the lyrics, well they reflect the name, being 'Cynical¹ but as I¹m constantly reminding people, cynicism (and Cynica) can be funny!" Chris Chinchilla,Below The Surface,www.chinchilla-music.co.uk .... "I think the album title sums it up...this is Dork Rock. They have a bit of F.Y.P. to them along with a dose of Boris the Sprinkler. But they are more diverse then the standard punk-pop dork rock tunes that the aforementioned bands play. Could they be the They Might Be Giants for a new generation? Only time will tell..." - Grog mutant renegade zine http://www.thechickenfishspeaks.com/2001/2001c.htm ""Sorry I broke Your Toilet Seat", is punky folk, but the rest is pure They Might Be Giants, the song "Don't Let's Start" to be specific. Too many variations on "Don't Let's Start" but I like that song a lot so I've listened to this 5 times now. A guilty pleasure I can't support with logic and reason." - " - old punks zine http://www.oldpunks.com/oldpunks2.html "If you enjoy muppet voices then you will love this cd...I on the other hand I only want muppet voices coming out of muppets and not on a cd. Remember that muppet band with animal on drums? Well Dork Rock reminds me of them....the singer either doens't know he sounds like a muppet or he is really damn proud of it...but it....the lyrics are good too and some are even pretty funny but that muppet voice messes it all up.....go check them out for yourself and if you like them you probably like muppets a lot." - Jennifer smalltown minds http://www.angelfire.com/yt/smalltown2/punk.html
