"Mixing, shaking and distilling such honorable influences as Paul Westerberg, Pearl Jam and a healthy dose of classic pop, these guys are poised to make their own estimable mark on the Cities and beyond." -Tom Hallett (Pulse of the Twin Cities)

"Featuring graceful melodies with both upbeat and slow tunes, Capital Sons are sure not to disappoint the concert goer." -Sotanlife.com

"Capital Sons boast creative pop harmonies and intriguing song arrangements...this band has the goods and is willing to share." -Smother.net

"I was listening to your straight ahead alt-rock groove, and then came Spark. That song just crawled under my skin." -Glaenda Glamazon (Musicfreedom.com)

"Capital Sons self-titled EP oozes out seven tight tracks of popalicious wonder. Overall it's super accesible, guitar-driven alt-rock, and a great start for a group who are going places." -Perfectporridge.com

"This is a tight band. The rhythms are solid, the guitar work is good and catchy, and the vocals are pretty well done." -Gary Schwind (Rocknworld.com)
