Ups and Downs, is a melodic treat that fans of Teenage Fanclub, The Pernice Brothers and Big Star will enjoy. The gorgeous "Away" opens, reminding me of Cotton Mather's "Baby Freeze Queen", and it's followed by the midtempo "Suddenly", which out-TFs Teenage Fanclub. Just to show they aren't exclusively "soft", Mazzola & Co. rock out on the raucous "Everyday (I Die a Little Bit)", but "Morning Light" and "World from Outside" reinforce their melodic bonafides. They close with a cover - a nice version of The Replacements' "Skyway". - Absolutepowerpop (U.S.A.)

Mazzola has an affection for several classic pop influences like The Byrds, John Lennon, and The Replacements. The album goes through many moods, from fast tempo punk guitars of "Everyday (I Die a Little Bit)" to the mid tempo jangle of "Suddenly,"and then the somber Jeff Lynne-like ballad "One More Chance." All songs are full of great classic hooks and interesting chord changes that I know pop fans will cherish. Juan's vocals have the same gentle delivery of Lennon and the melodic qualities are excellent here. Lead guitarist Cristian Basualdo does a great job here too, as the duo recall Let It Be-era Lennon-McCartney on a pair of tracks ("The Riots" and "Ups and Downs"). "Morning Light" owes much to Big Star and Badfinger, the music coming from a deeply emotional place. You won't be disappointed here -- this is highly recommended to powerpop fans - Powerpopaholic (U.S.A.)

There has always been something about Baby Scream that I just love. I am willing to bet that the main reason for a love of this band is the attention paid to song writing. Songs 1 through three are mellow, yet hooky. Song 4, “Everyday (I Die A Little Bit)”, however opens things up and Juan proves to all of us that he can rock out with the best of them. Back to mellow town, “One More Chance” leads one to think of post Beatles John Lennon. There is no doubt in my mind that the stand out track on this release comes along at number 8 in the form of “Morning Light”. Wonderful groove, wonderful production with a guitar that cuts through exactly as it should, and a keyboard that would make Ian MacLagan proud. “Walls Crumbling Down” rocks out pretty hard in all honesty, and sets the band into more of a Rock and Roll vibe. Track 12 took me by complete surprise. When I saw “Skyway” listed on the back of the CD I was fearful it was the Mats song. But knowing Juan, I had a feeling it was. And it is. But the version Baby Scream pulls out here is brilliant. The type of cover that needs to be sent on to Paul Westerberg, and I am sure he would love it. This is a great CD. Strong writing, wonderful execution, and a heart beating inside that could warm everybody! - Carl Isonhart / Sonic Ruin Magazine (U.S.A.)

Baby Scream es substancialmente un one-man-thing creado por Juan Mazzola. Su disco “Ups and Downs” es el clásico ejemplo de un álbum que ameritaba un puesto en mi ranking 2008, pero desafortunadamente lo he descubierto demasiado tarde. Perdón Juan, porque tu disco es un excelente ejemplo de pop acústico que suena de pies a cabeza al mejor estilo de fines de los años sesenta. Al preguntarle acerca de quienes influyen en la composición de sus temas, el señor Mazzola cita a Marc Bolan, Teenage Fanclub y Radiohead. Definitivamente siento la influencia de aquellos temas de los inicios de Teenage Fanclub cuando escucho Walls Crumbling Down. Siento una psicodelia soft modernizada al mejor estilo de lo último de Rick Gallego en la perlita Suddenly, mientras que en el acústico tema One More Chance, el estilo y el timbre de voz me hacen acordar a Robert Harrison en los momentos de The Big Picture o a las cosas más “laid-back” de los Deleted Waveform Gatherings. El Title-track es un ejercicio acústico clásico muy bien logrado y muy poco retorico, pero Juan Mazzola sabe lo que hace hasta en los momentos en que, muy de vez en cuando levanta el volumen de las guitarras, así Everyday (I Die A Little Bit) es una grandiosa canción que me haría recordar a los Strokes, si Julian Casablancas fuese powerpop songwriter. Les recomiendo que escuchen el trabajo de Juan. Ninguno se arrepentirá - Underthetangerinetree (Italy)

Marvellous 12-string-cracky-songs, sometimes a bit louder with stormy stompers and an excellent passionate , but NOT plaintive VOICE - creates a perfect mixture for the first sunny days in the year , but also for the beloved autumn depression...Just one minus: ONLY 6 songs, I want a lot more of them!!! (9/10) - Ox Magazine (Germany)

Baby Scream are a testament to today's international internet pop culture, where an album can be made in Brisbane, Birmingham or Buenos Aires without anyone being able to tell the difference. Whether that's a good thing is an argument for another day. This is pop from the Western world! Although Baby Scream are a band, songwriter and vocalist Juan Mazzola is the driving force. Since 2001 the band has existed as a solo project, an acoustic duo or a full band, performing and recording in a variety of styles from Britpop to punk, before settling on their current approach, which involves tuneful acoustic pop based around acoustic guitars with keyboard and electric guitar backing. - Shindig! Magazine (U.K.)

Their EP entitled "Monsters" currently doing the rounds on the Beyond your Mind imprint reveals a softly alluring pop prowess at work that taps into the mindset of the Beatles more reflective moments as well as splicing elements of Epicycle's mercurial retro tones and Kevin Tihista's criminally undervalued back catalogue. From the skiffle shanty like 'slut' with its LA's meets the Coral nuances to the slow burning naked ambition of the intimately raw 'mars', Baby Scream mine a rich seam in cherry tipped crystalline melodic pop. - Losing Today (U.K.)

An argentinian band launched in 2001 by Juan ( Mazzola ). In the first years they got a fondness for Glam and Psychodelic Rock, today the band sounds like some kind of roots-pop, harmonical like taste of toffee. Sexsmith/McCartney/Patrick Park and a little bit of Hobotalk, thats what I find in here. Very relaxed, maby too beautiful to be suspected for Rock roots. Well done. The songs are brushed with sweet-tempered Melancholic kissing your ears. You can't deny the influence of the Beatles in "1983" ( many-voices / violins ). What a pity, it is only a 6-Track Ep. It could be longer. (ICC ) - Glitter House (Germany)

Folkpop is not something you would expect from Argentina. Maybe that's why the biography mentions "garagerock". Absurd, if you'd ask me because on "Monsters" Baby Scream obviously seems to have listened to the Beatles. And this is just something to let us cheer at! The band is above all at its best with up-tempo-songs such as "Slut" which sounds really summerly and happy. "Mars" on the opposite sounds quite fragile. But luckily the electric guitar comes up right on time. Here and there some Pixies-influences leak out as on "1983" for example. "Monsters" is a 6-track-EP which is already giving appetite for a full-length album. - Dreun (The Netherlands)

Started as a singer/songwriter project - BABY SCREAM slowly turned up to a real band - NOW putting out with "MONSTERS" a very fulminant EP! Singer and Mastermind Juan Mazzola creates a deep, earnest and reflective work, basing upon his fathers death. It is very advisable listening to it with eyes closed! These 7 songs are nearly fragile - somewhere between SMITHS, REPLACEMENTS, JAYHAWKS and also RADIOHEAD (when they still got guitars) They aren't creating something totally new but totally convince with their transposition: This band will affects you by your listening! It is worth it, promised!" (8/10) - Hannes Beer/Music-Scan (Germany)

"Monsters" mainly offers sunny powerpop songs. Popsongs with a strong Beatles-influence, but at the same time with a somewhat American sound (think of the more laid back moments of the Replacements). This EP makes one look forward to the forthcoming full length album, planned for later this year. And these songs are strong enough to justify the purchase of this very enjoyable EP. - Erwin Zijleman - Plato (The Netherlands)

The EP opens with "Blue River", a haunting melody on acoustic guitar accompanied by strings. A touch of eeriness creeps in with the abundance of minor and minor 7th chords which lend a certain spookiness to Juan’s confident vocal. His voice is at times soft and whispering, intimate even, at others harshly powerful. "Monster" meanwhile feels as though it has more in common with Athlete, early Coldplay or something equally Britrock, with its driving percussive line and contrastingly gentle vocals. The melody is catchy, addictive, and the distinctively harmonised chorus gives us the first hint of a Beatles influence as the vocals take on a definite Lennon-esque quality. "Mars" pays direct homage to Bowie in lyrics, pace, guitar and overall arrangement. And yet it holds its own value, neither falling into the common traps of mimicry nor turning into a claim of musical heritage. It’s a tribute made from the heart and delivered with style. The EP’s penultimate track is a pure sing-along pop fest. It’s sweet and innocent, catchy and hook-laden and it rises to a full blown crescendo finale. "Gone Forever" really takes the Beatles more philosophically reflective tracks to heart with its cascading acoustic guitars and plaintive vocals. It’s a two part track which again displays Juan’s uncanny knack for finding catchy melodies, like the rest of the EP. However this track is deeper, more anguished to start with. It’s about loss, shock, and grieving. There is optimism too, which finds its outlet in the major chords, the closure of the chorus, and the pleasant upbeat guitar solo. The second part of the track takes a more philosophical approach, reminiscent of The Beatles’ ‘Across the Universe’. Its poignant strings and guitars and tender lyrics give hope for meaning after loss and bring the EP to a natural close. There is much to find in this short but sweet collection for the discerning indie lover. - Lisa Sutlieff - Suite101.com - (U.K.)

Very listenable, nice, cosy and pleasant. Most songs are built upon simple acoustic guitar structures and mellow singing. The first song "Blue River" has a very strong, almost sad cello to complete the simple arrangement. Next song "Monsters" is the most electric with nice lyrics. It's all kind of spherical and a song like "Mars" has a very clear reference to Bowie as Ziggy. The musical skills are evident and the singing is very competent, it's not just another average mainstream indiewank band. This is a nice popish EP that you can put on at a rainy day and start smiling. - Lowcut Magazine - (Denmark)

Si eres de los que como yo te rendiste ante el “Little Heart Attacks” de los Sunday Drivers, no deberías pasar por alto este disco, canciones de pop elaboradas y mimadas, seis pequeñas gemas de pop que desprenden fragancia sonoras a Beatles y Bowie, desde las primeras notas acústicas de “Blue River”, notas adornadas con un cello y violin haciendo un tema realmente bonito, siguen “Monsters” el tema mas beatle sin ninguna duda en la manera de cantarlo del propio Juan, para dar paso a “Slut” mas rítmico que da lugar a otra pequeña joya a medio tiempo “Mars” en donde Maria da unos concisos golpes de órgano que se mezclan con las guitarras por momentos cósmicas, al igual que “1983” para cerrar con “Gone Forever” de nuevo en semiacustico y cerrando un disco relajado en donde el pop es el máximo exponente y las canciones bonitas predominan a lo largo ó corto del disco, sin olvidar la propina en forma de canción extra llena de violines y cellos sin titulo que cierra de manera increíble Monsters. - Oscarkotj - Kick Out The Jams (Spain)
