"...[Dialtone] is what happens when you take the pristine structure of the Pop song for indie kids, and roll it around in the street and dirt outside the punk club." - NBT (Next Big Thing) Blog
"Trio of rockers fronted by singer/guitarist Paul Orea have a decided garage punk edge that glories in poking fun at the foibles of modern society and do so with good garage-y hooks and sly humor." - Music Connection
"[Dialtone] have been jamming together for about two years and have devised a simple, unpretentious, straightforward style of “New Wave/Grunge/Disco/Punk” rock that has a vinyl, nostalgic air. The music is a little fuzzy 'round the edges and the band has a lighthearted approach that is refreshing. Their name, Dialtone (as opposed to ringtones), even hearkens back to older times.
So, they've got a vintage sound while singing about the detriments of modern technology. A nice contrast. Cell phones, text messaging, instant messaging, etc., is ruining existing personal relationships and the art of building new ones." - Blog Critics Magazine
