Sounds Like
This is just the kind of testosterone-driven racket that can remind a 21st century man where his balls are. Artfully constructed, but rarely pretentious, Collars comes on like a confused and slightly drunk 19-year-old with a good heart and something to prove.

…. Company Car has the appeal of producing a high-energy combination. They create a lively compilation of music reminiscent of a laundry list of influences that could be pegged as Sparta, My Bloody Valentine, NOFX, and Queens of the Stone Age.

The band's immediate influences (Fugazi, At the Drive in, Sunny Day Real Estate) come out from the beginning, and as you listen deeper into the songs, complex melodies, harmonies and instrumental parts emerge to craft a finely thought-out mix.

- The Deli SF
Like any good rock band, these guys get in, get out, and move on (none of these tracks even hit the four minute mark), making their play without any of the obligatory bells and whistles. They don't need it. These songs are compressed, smart, and fun to get to know.

…combines a regal indie sensibility with the down-and-dirty, post-grunge sound of Foo Fighters….

…the San Francisco quartet makes a thunderous noize that churns faster than an Amish kid on trucker speed, harkening back to groups like Fugazi, Sunny Day Real Estate, and Braid.

…if Fugazi and the Wrens had a baby, and that baby was home-schooled in San Francisco, its name would be Company Car.

Think Queens of the Stone Age mixed with Green Day and the Get Up Kids. Their high-energy live performances continue to make them a favorite.

I guess what I liked most was that I felt my body moving within a song or two and I really felt that I was feeling it. I know that sounds like wishy washy annoying music critic crap, but it”s the f-ing truth!"
