"As hard-charging brilliant as anything I’ve heard in that venue in the last decade-plus." Ron Garmon - LA RECORD
"The stomp and swagger is innately here, draped in flourishes both familiar and intangible. For each instance of soul drenched vocals there’s a jangly guitar riff or a circus-like vibe in the mix. For all the stomp the band delivers it probably wouldn’t sound right without the scratchy, throaty vocals of Rob Kolar who croons as good as he can let loose." BOOTLEG MAGAZINE
"Rock album of the year...Rejoice fans of good rock, because RUN WITH THE FAITHLESS is a must in the genre, an ideal transition of the authentic rock/pop music of 40 years ago and the rock productions more modern, more varietal." LA QUENELLE CULTURELLE
"There's a very simple thing going on here. Effortless charm...Lemon Sun are a versatile local pop outfit with a sound that employs all your fave 60's-jangle-harmony-beat conventions without the tired retro smarm. It's ridiculously pleasant, charasmatic guitar-pop without pretense. Refreshing. Keep it simple, silly!" AMOEBA RECORDS
Listed as one of the best indie rock releases of 2009 - WWW.INDIEROCKCAFE.COM
"...Their eleven-song set ended in what seemed to be a rock opera, including a cover of “I'll Melt With You,” with a strobe light, Felipe Ceballos on his feet slamming the drums and the whole stage illuminating the dim room with their energy. It is no surprise that Lemon Sun is essentially based on a dream Kolar once had—by the end of a set, they have glided you through your own dream sequence leaving you refreshed and desiring more." Britt Witt - LA RECORD
"...That first play glided along through its twelve tracks serving up edgy, catchy, rock-pop but with something going on that somehow set it apart. Every song was expertly crafted. First time out the tracks blended, on play two they began to emerge individually, by play three they had moved into my mind." - WWW.BLOGCRITICS.ORG
"...an all around gratifying, rock and roll adventure that teeters somewhere in between 1960s Kinks and Rolling Stones albums and Tom Petty’s debut record. Though the 12 tracks of catchy pop rock are easy to listen to, they still challenge those music fans who are always looking for something different." MONTEREY COUNTY WEEKLY
"...the hooks on this album always remained fresh by pushing the vocals even further using powerful rhythmic riffs that the drums and the bass always seem to be exploding into at the perfect time." - MicCONTROL BLOG
"...From the very first song "Congratulate Our Thievery" you're instantly transported to a time of protests, uninhibited clothing choices and a few free flowing illegal substances." - HYBRID MAGAZINE
"With grinding guitars that circle the music with a punch to the gut and pinch to the cheeks, you can’t help but sing along."
CHERRI MOON - URB Magazine
"... singer Rob Kolar, whose fantastic voice and psych-folk rock leanings have carried the band since its inception. Still unsigned, these guys have vast commercial appeal and a classic Southern California sound. Though most in the crowd were likely there to see headliner and 2008 buzz band White Denim, Lemon Sun aptly proved to be crowd favorites." CRAWDADDY
"...Aside from being a band of immeasurable talent, they seem to carry with them a sense of gratitude for & value of hard work. Run With The Faithless is out for your listening pleasure & it's chock full of soul & funkadelic, explosive goodness..." - The RAPT Magazine
"The LA-based outfit is gracious enough to take their
listeners with them on this David Bowie-esque journey. Packed with hard driving drumbeats and accompanied with Rob’s strong voice (which is quite similar to a certain Britt Daniel) the listener is then rocketed into the abyss of their own imaginations. Not to mention the heavy guitar riffs that seems to resonate and awaken anyone’s soul." DELI MAGAZINE
"Let the silly disappointments of the day leave you, and just listen to Rob sing. Surrender to it and you'll know what I am talking about... Lemon Sun simply blew me away that night" LOUDVINE
"Quirky, vibrant, full of energy and tangy sustenance. Rock band Lemon Sun named themselves fittingly." - LA2DAY
"...Their deliciously syncopated ‘Hot Rocks’ style compositions are easy to love...each sweet, soul inspired confection was rhythmically unwrapped and devoured with the most perfect grace... Lead singer Rob Kolar rightfully belongs in the brave new generation of blue eyed soul singers; his frequent comparisons to a young Eric Burdon (or a male Chris Clark) are not without merit." ZELDA ZAP - L.A. Record
"...these boys and girl mix their elixir with equal parts spine-vibrating rhythms, toe-tapping melodies, and honest insightful lyrics. Despite the spectrum of the
bands sounds, all tunes deliver a knock out rock punch."
THREE IMAGINARY GIRLS
"Its like kryptonite for a music critic. There’s nothing to hate, just as the little-blue-pill-of-a-name suggests. The sun shines bright."
SHAWN SMITH - OC WEEKLY
"Lemon Sun's brilliant vocal harmonies and intelligent hooks get the crowd moving"
Cory Podell - LAIST.com
