"To any other untrained ear this band would be nothing more shrieking noise and unintelligible 60's hippy garage thrashing. Thankfully however, at this exact moment, those four beers I've had in the last hour have just chosen to kick in and quite like going cross eyed at one of those magic eye puzzles, BANG! I'm hearing psychedelic sailboats and fucking dolphins everywhere! They're every Vietnam soundtrack cliché played at once whilst Andy Warhol pisses on your twitching corpse screen printed to repetition. They're Velvet Underground's "Waiting For My Man", Van Morrison's "Gloria" and The Who's "My Generation" swirling into a psychedelic swirl. They're a rambling diatribe of distorted vocals from the backlines, hellfire guitar candy, leering and lurching keyboards and loose as fuck rubberband drumming that always appears two steps behind before snapping back into focus. Derailed, discordant and deranged as fuck but somehow it all works. Whoaaa!"

"13th Floor Elevators, Eddy Current Suppression Ring, The Sonics, Velvets, you like those? You'll dig this..."
Richard Kingsmill, Triple J
"fucking EXCELLENT!"
Kramer (Galaxie 500 producer, founder of Shimmy-Disc)
"Great cover of "Sideshow by the Seashore", you have made it your own with the added speed and fuzz and organ, I really like it. And I like your Chocolate Watchband cover too... and interesting to see you like some of my own favorite bands, from the Feelies to the Spacemen 3 to Richard Hell to the Kaleidoscope U.K."
Dean Wareham (Galaxie 500, Luna, Dean & Britta)
"Mona Lisa Overdrive are puling off a most delicate of balancing acts. They're channeling the spirit of White Light/White Heat-era Velvets and still maintaining an individualistic stamp and stomp."
Matthew Buzzell (film director - Tell Me Do You Miss Me, member of Night People)
"Great sound"
Bob Torsello (Bass player in ex-Feelies member, Glenn Mercer's live band)
