Press Reviews "These local lads are unnaturally tuneful and too clever by half. Wordplay is their forte, and if the jangle-pop melodies and folkish vocals are sometimes overshadowed by the sardonic wit, it's a small price to pay for having at least one band in town that's aiming for your head instead of your allowance. Imagine a debate between Squeeze and the Bottle Rockets, refereed by Simon and Garfunkel, and you'll have a vague idea of the offbeat riches to be mined here." -Joe Williams, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch "On the new album, Flammable Pajamas, Hotel Faux Pas gives rock the kick in the leather pants it deserves.Hotel Faux Pas' friendly sound comes from a thorough understanding of pop's power as a genre-proof elixir.And these guys are no garage band. They play their instruments like old bluegrass pros, a rare thing in this era of regenerated DIY anarchy. The harmonies-a secret specialty-fill up every last vacancy in Hotel Faux Pas. Spacious and spacy, they're like the Byrd's choral ascents." -Jordan Oakes, The Riverfront Times, St. Louis "Hotel Faux Pas spin shiny happy silly poppy witty electro-acoustic ditties, inducing hallucinations of suited moppy-haired bands on The Ed Sullivan Show with an additional dose of psychedelic analog TV special effects" -Night Times Magazine, St. Louis
