"Vancouver's Fond of Tigers incorporated a wide spectrum of influences—the irregular-metered complexity of progressive rock, the minimalist interlacing of melodic fragments, occasional ambience, a non-soloing collective approach to improvisation…and a hardcore energy and volume level that made for an intensely visceral experience." John Kelman, All About Jazz
"These Vancouver instro improvisers are that rare breed of band that can chameleon its way into a jazz festival, get props from that set, then open for a Tortoise-type indie heavyweight and have the back-of-the-club beard-strokers tapping a toe in approval." Jason Keller, NOW Magazine
"Combining the precision odd-metre power tactics of the Mahavishnu Orchestra, the chaotic thrash of no wave and a punk-ish predilection for good-natured noisemaking, FOTs collective chops deliver a compelling collective punch" Glen Hall, exclaim! August 02, 2006

"Almost theatrical in their pacing, Fond of Tigers continue to keep listeners guessing as to what comes next." -Vish Khanna, Exclaim!, August 2007
