"Frankie Pedano’s gravelly, conversational singing and mad keyboard pounding leads the charge, followed closely by guitarist Nick Anastasi, bassist Mike Vivas and drummer Jay Miraglia. The result is a Muppets-worthy blend of Red Hot Chili Peppers funk-rock and growling Pearl Jam-isms folded into Motown-ish pop and Halls & Oates-inspired blue-eyed soul with a goofy jam-band flair. Arriving with hammy antics and geeky, long-haired good looks, these dudes are intent on implanting their mixed-bag shenanigans into the sorry state of modern rock." - Doug Wallen, Philadelphia Weekly
"Just when you thought virtuoso rock has been MIA since the 80s, here come the Fantastic Philly Four who are poised to wrestle the mainstream music scene back from kiddie pop and I-got-shot-in-da-club digital thumping. You can dance your ass off to it, or just stand with your jaw on the floor as these guys turn their instruments into putty. I was so blown away after the show, I had to give the band my profuse praise. Their response? “Well, our moms think we’re good.” And while I still contend they must know how brilliant they are, their modesty spoke volumes about their future. I expect Fat City Reprise to be a major player in rock’s evolution." - Kelly Maglia, High Voltage Magazine
"Philly native’s Fat City Reprise may be one of the next big things to watch for in rock music. Their catchy alternative and classic rock influenced songs should win over most rock fans." - Chris Banks, Phrequency.com
"Once the foursome were together, success became the unofficial fifth member. Their fans have no trouble seeing their success has grown steadily, creating a global draw." - Caitlin Meals, South Philadelphia Review
"At a live show, these guys are energized and don't take breathers. Their music speaks for itself, and because of that, they don't take their sweet time tuning or talking to the audience. They do what they went there for-to get down! Ladies and Gentleman, Boys and Girls, Welcome to One of the Greatest Shows on Earth! " - Heather Sconza, Traxx.com
"Right from the get go, your feet start tapping. Throughout their CD the guitars, bass, drums, keys and vocals all compliment each other very well. There is a groove about this CD that makes it easy to listen to all the way through. You hear the elements of funk, jazz and rock. Nick’s guitar work and his solo in “You’re Fired” is fantastic. They are one of the few bands of today that get’s what a guitar solo is and how it should be played. If you like jamming dancy rock that has balls, check out Fat City’s CD." - Markus, Compendium Magazine
"The main thing that sets Fat City Reprise apart from the masses is their superbly blended instrumental work. From your first listen it’s clear; their chemistry is unmistakable. Not afraid to emphasize their instrumental side, they keep the piano playing melodic and moving pieces, the guitar and bass work is intense but not overbearing, and the drumming solidifies the united sound. Through their instrumentation they produce a well crafted blend of progressive and more traditional rock with a bit of funk woven in to spice things up. Because of their broad stylistic capabilities each of their songs has a distinct sound, allowing for them to experiment and pull off a style that’s all their own." - Mike Kelly, Play Magazine
"Fat City Reprise is poised for world domination and you are powerless to stop them. Their songs are catchy and danceable - if you aren’t bouncing around as soon as they plug in, then you should just go on back home because you are not fun. You can tell, just by being around them, that they share a connection that runs deeper than the music (and certainly deeper than the allure of fame). This was definitely one of the most raucous shows I’ve seen, there were chicks dancing everywhere. One of the things my ear appreciates so much is the fact that they play so well together and no individual instrument overshadows another. On the same note, each band member exudes such high energy that you’re not simply focused on Frankie’s pretty face and voice, but on Jay (a silent but deadly mofo on the drums) killing it, the Vivas dance, and Nick on his knees like a white Hendrix." - Adrienne Saia, Randomn3ss.com
