"the group has managed to piece together a beautiful conglomeration of borrowed sounds, spun them into a grungy musical cloth, and put out something unique and special. Whole and organic, their music stands out as something authentic among the hordes"
Portland Mercury---9/25/09
"in the meantime, the Portland band's debut is a stunner"
The Deli Magazine--Portland, 9/09
“Friday night at the Doug Fir is a no-brainer… Bodhi draw[s] from a wide realm of all-things rock 'n' roll (lead licks on "Bystander," for example, undeniably summon thoughts of All Things Must Pass, though the group in no way is derivative of George Harrison).”
Willamette Week Local Cut 8/19/09, "Bystander"
"Bodhi’s debut album is finally out, and this song totally rips."
--Michael Mannheimer
Portland Artist of the Month
--The Deli Magazine, September 2009
PSU Vanguard (1/21/2009)
"Bodhi’s sound is all their own, the sum of all their illegitimate parts, collected no doubt from their journey around the country as well as from the woodworks of the various places they settled...This will be one of the most anticipated local albums of this new-year..."
Willamette Week Profile (printed 7/2/08)
"Though it still hasn’t released a proper record (the band aims to self-record its debut this month after recruiting a fourth member), Bodhi managed to land a track on the recently released PDX Pop Now! compilation—and “Nadine” might be the gem of the entire 40-song record. Emerging from behind a layer of tape hiss, it’s a wonderfully catchy slice of garage-pop bliss, building from a rolling drum fill into a guitar-and-Farfisa organ breakdown that’s guaranteed to have your foot tapping in seconds."
Willamette Week Local Cut--PDX Pop Now! Fest '08 Day 2 Review
"...Bodhi’s Brian Carr mangles the fuck out of his guitar during its last song, and Ansley throws her drum kit to the side. It’s a good reminder that between all the hushed-folk and slinky electronics, people still rock out in this city...."
PDX pop now! '08 blog
"That was a first! Bodhi just became the first band in the history of PDX Pop Now! to smash their instruments at the end of their set. Guitars were flying, cymbals were toppling, drum thrones got body slammed. It was just like in those movies about rock music! It was an appropriate end to Bodhi's set...loud, fast, raucous and melodic."
Willamette Week featured track (5/12/08)
"It being PDX Pop Now! day and all, we thought we'd share a little gem from the future compilation for ya. ... Someone who buys the CD for the unreleased Joggers song might be blown away by a band they've never heard of—and I have a feeling lots of folks will be spelling the virtues of Bodhi after hearing "Nadine," its rawking slice of garage-pop bliss."

KPSU Program Director Tony Prato
