"This is the case where you can feel the joy of discovering a stellar artist before the media machine does it for you." -Paste Music

"recall(s) the folk-punk sound of bands like The Replacements, Soul Asylum and Thelonious Monster, but the lyrics tell harrowing true stories that Westerberg, Pirner, and Forrest could only pretend to have." -Wonkavision magazine
