"Glen Rock, New Jersey has got it going on... Average Girl is an energetic trio that plays boozy alt-country rock 'n roll for straight-up rock 'n rollers. So if you like a little twang with your rapid guitar riffs, harmonic hums, and drunken keyboard solos, Average Girl just might be your new favorite band. I want to drink to them. (selected as Band We Like)" - Oh My Rockness

"Average Girl in full flight are both heartbreaking and mesmeric. Not to be underestimated..." - Clare Tavernor, The Culture Show, BBC

"When and how did New Jersey get so cool? A band with extremely well selected influences, they give themselves the alt-country label... But I'd argue that this label does little justice to their serious punk sensibilities and recurring 6-minute jam outs; imagine Titus imitating Uncle Tupelo, who AvgGrl cite as a strong influence. When guitarist Matt Benjamin takes over with raw, oft-Guthriesque vocals, a deep rooted folk influence is mixed with strong 80s punk undertones." - Jenn Pelly, Spin Magazine / Pellytwins

"Average Girl plays thumping indie-fied Americana rock populated by acoustic piano 8th notes and steel guitar parts straight outta early Wilco songs. This is excellent cheap-beer music. (That is not an insult.)" - Aural Wes

"I find their Satanic message to be very refreshing. Awesome band."
- Anonymous Radio Caller
