Press Reviews "Instrumental rock on the experimental side of things. Slow-fingered, slack-stringed guitar plunking gives way to distorted guitar howls over loose drums and angular keyboard." -[Listen.com] .................................... "Atlanta's The Rock Coaches take their work to new heights with this 15 track CD (also filled with 4 video clips and bunches of of information for hours of mindless fun. Put it in your computer and see the goodness!) Inspired primarily by the HBO tv show "Mr. Show" the whole thing gets pretty goofy in a sort of Kiss Offs or Junior Varsity sort of way. Bashing on the drums and banging on the guitar and hovering above the keyboards in an eyepatch. Well check it out! | 2000Animal World Recordings"- [Clamazon]" .............................................. Like if Agent Orange was produced by Geza X for Kindercore..."-[Darla Distro] ............................................ "There are 15 tracks on the band's CD, three of which feature vocals provided by the Major. The rest of the songs are instrumental and vary from free-noise workouts to hyper guitar/keyboard workouts that resemble a more rudimentary version of Trans Am. The band has been compared to everyone from Agent Orange to Trumans Water, but everyone agrees that their live show is not to be missed."-[Break Magazine] ................................................... "Instrumental Anarchy. Atlanta's The Rock Coaches has more than a clever name to its credit -- the trio is poised to release its debut full-length CD, "Our Freshman Year at Rock Coach High," on Tallahassee label Animal World Recordings. The disc features 15 of the Coaches' fractured indie anthems, including a hilarious cover of the theme from HBO's "Mr. Show" (which the group cites as its primary influence). The songs are full of discordant jangle and dips into minimalist and absurdest musical wells for refreshment. It's about as alternative as it gets, and highly entertaining besides. Beware of listening at loud volume with headphones -- songs like "Honkey Kong" have enough squeal to burn ear wax."-[Tallahassee Democrat]
