"Jungol have evolved into an excellent band that writes beautiful, concise pop songs infused with a heart of prog, as showcased on their newest record, Places. I think my favourite thing about this album is how so much intricacy and subtly is veiled behind the pleasantly appealing melodies in the forefront. Make sure to pick up a copy, because it still hasn’t stopped growing on me."
OHMPARK 2009
"With the recent unveiling of their self-produced EP Places, Jungol's music is gaining some serious headway in Atlanta complete with screaming fans, blushing girls and tours up and down the East Coast."
SOUTHEAST PERFORMER 2009
"Jungol’s educated restlessness and Places’ shifting ground do not nauseate the listener because no member seems interested in competing with his bandmates to showcase his individual talent on the album. Places is a solid whole that deserves attention and encouragement, not calls for restraint, because it knows exactly where it is and what it is doing. "
ATHENS FLAGPOLE 2009
""If you’re looking for the next band to make an impression on the Atlanta music scene, look no further. The Jungol’s concoction of futuristic accents meshed with their indie rock backbone creates a sound of today with a hint of tomorrow."
ROCKFIST REVIEWS 2009
" The style can be compared to a more monochromatic Mars Volta with some hints of U2. The sound is hard edged with loud instrumentals and softer, pop vocals. The sound is characteristic of much of the indie and progressive rock popular today, appealing to urban hipster types with a penchant for vocal effects. Jungol has the mass appeal of the Killers, with something of a radio friendly sound, though in keeping with their artistic integrity."
JAMBASE.COM 2008
"Despite little media recognition, prog rock is alive and well. Young, talented bands such as Atlanta's Liquid Jungle (now called Jungol) are as influenced by King Crimson's jagged attack as U2's grander arena-rock tendencies and, most importantly, have the chops to pull off that dynamic mix. Add some funk along with a sack of twisty riffs and quirky time changes for a head-spinning set that gets more intense as the evening unfolds.."
CREATIVE LOAFING 2008
"The band shifts flavors frequently while subordinating everything to an architecture that works brilliantly through its many permutations. 14 cuts occupy 70 long minutes and not a second is wasted, every measure fascinating. With so-called neoprog fading and groups like Ohm, Mars Volta, the aforementioned Izz, and other cutting edge players moving back in, talent and erudition re-enter the arena, and it's more than obvious Liquid Jungle has been woodshedding like crazy, honing up while getting down. This, ladies and gentlemen, is what made the greats great.."
FAME ALBUM REVIEW 2008
"The songs are genuine, intriguing and cover a lot of ground: there are shredding, fast guitar solos, and ambient, warm ones; there are wide-open, airy verses and choruses, and menacing, pounding ones; there are funk, jazz and hard-rock elements at work at all times."
CREATIVE LOAFING 2007
“Liquid Jungle (now referred to as Jungol) does an impressing job in creating their first full-length album, Tiny Heaven, that amalgamates the elements of jazz, classic rock, funk, and ska. ……. They are bringing a new meaning to progressive rock through their talented music composition and through the talents of their members “
MUSIC-REVIEWER.COM 2008
"Every song was compositionally intriguing."
"Liquid Jungle represents a pensive and insightful band, most poignantly understood by their sincere investment in the exploration of what music can achieve with or without any concept of categorization."
PERFORMER MAG 2007
“The first song they played really stormed out of the gate. These guys don't play around. It had a heavy funk sound with prog-rock elements and some close harmonies on the vocal. Subsequent songs were similarly angular and intense; the same goes for frontman, Josh Yoder. He's like some kind of exotic bird, hopping about onstage, slapping his bass around and bugging his eyes out. Guy can sing too. He's got a breathy tenor that's well-modulated and not too precious or overbearing.”
