"This foursome sounds like a national, radio-ready, alt-rock band with all the right ingredients — great vocals, strong lyrics, memorable melodies and a bit of an edge."
- Amy Jones, Take 5 Writer & The River Morning Host
"If Beck’s “Sea Change” and The Killers’ “Hot Fuss” had a love-LP, Bandazian’s “O Pioneer” would be it (the stylistically indicative “Clippership” is a must-listen)."
- Hilary Crowe, On Tap Magazine
"These guys are natural born radio-ready!
Bandazian is one of those bands that's got surface and depth appeal...hooks that would grab a casual radio listener's ear and musicianship that would grab any music lover's heart...They have that ever-elusive 'what it takes' quality that you just can't fake...this one's genuine...and they are only just beginning..."
- Annalisa-Midday Host, KFOG radio San Francisco
“Bandazian’s brand of hard pop harkens back to the early days of U2, when Bono was more about making music than making news. Bandazian isn’t afraid to rock hard, but they’re smart enough not to drown out their well-crafted tunes. Even when they have the volume turned up, Bandazian’s music remains tuneful, hummable, and memorable.” - Kim Clark, WNCW radio
"[Bandazian's] music is addictive, and the energy from the live show will keep you wanting to come back for more." - Jaime Binde, Asheville Citizen-Times
"This four-piece outfit of indie rockers know how to put a catchy song together. (They’re really that good, and as one of our forum posters wrote, 'Kinda makes you wonder: if these guys were from Brooklyn instead of Asheville, would they be all over Pitchfork and Spin already?')" - Steve Shanafelt, A&E editor, Mountain XPress

Hey guys, saw you at Kenny's on Friday. You were really great-- totally enjoyed the show! I'm a singer myself and will definitely come support you guys again next time you're in the area! Keep me posted.
Just stopping by and letting you know we really like your tunes. We're all good friends with Max, and you did a great job with his album. You should play a show in Fairfax, that would be awesome. See you guys around.
You guys killed it up in NYC. You truly impressed a lot of people-- great job. Good times all around. Looking forward to and very excited for our next trip up!
