Sounds Like
..VILLAGE VOICE.... "Dirty white-boy rock n' roll" - ..Chuck Eddy.. .. .. ..SLEAZEGRINDER.... "They are NYC swagger and strut garage rock in it's purest form - and they ought to be spitting caviar at their detractors this time next year." .. .. ..LITTLE STEVEN.... "A tremendous band!" .. .. ..NEON.... "You can hit just about any of the downtown clubs in this town and hear what is now being defined as "garage-rock," or you can get a dose of the genuine thing from a band like Bona Roba. With the energy of the early Stones and the camp bravado of the New York Dolls...the set I caught at the Luna Lounge was loose, loud and no less stimulating for being a bit off-kilter. If you’re looking for slick poseurs with just the right coif and cut of clothes, you won’t find ‘em here. Just honest, down ‘n dirty, hot ‘n horny rock ‘n roll." - ..Jeff Rey.. .. .. ..Coolfer.... Coolfer lists his top 5 of '05 so far including the self-released Reach In And Get Her by Bona Roba. Little Steven digs 'em! I'd flash some serious cash down that these rockers from Queens could whip the Kings of Leon anyplace anytime anywhere in a battle of the bands. Um. Very New York. Never mind the Strokes. Bona Roba are bonafuckinfide rock & roll. .... ..The MUSIC KORNER.... "The four guys that comprise NYC's Bona Roba seem to be very much in tune with the gritty rock and roll of the '70s. Maybe that's why the outfit's three-song release has such a kick to it. Just check out the first track "In The Cut" for proof, as Bona Roba give us stomping riff rock - Think coke-era Stones, Mott the Hoople and even a tinge of Ramones and you've got Bona Roba, a band that doesn't primp and pose but has the right to do so." - ..Mike SOS.. .. .. ..ARC MAGAZINE.... Review of debut 7'' single - "Either side is enough to shake the dust out of the floorboards on any given Thursday night." - ..Mike Shepherd.. .. .. ..SMASHIN' TRANSISTORS.... "Bona Roba sound like New York City."
