"Paul Avion will make this winter bright with summer pop"
- Decode Magazine (UK)
"Light and fluffy like a fluffernutter samich with a cold glass of 1 percent milk, Pop Music United EP by Paul Avion will have you on a cloud of happiness! Full of indie pop sweetness and light hearted lyrics, Paul Avion makes you smile while singing of pop music, walking dogs on Sunset, and just the plain wonders that we all day dream about when we should be thinking about other things"
- Amylu In Love (NYC)
"Paul Avion recently released a new version of my favorite song of his, 'Stand Up, Be a Man.' Paul Avion's songs remind me of flying around in a puppy-shaped hot air balloon. I don't know why or what it's like to fly around in a hot air balloon, but that's what I think of."
- Keepin' It Right Radio, KUCI 88.9, UC-Irvine
"With traces of Saint Etienne, the Postal Service, Air, and British/Swedish 80's indie pop, Paul Avion shows a flare for pop that many bands/artists never touch"
- Intellectos (L.A.)
"L.A.-based [Paul Avion] will have you hooked on ridiculously catchy tales of lovers rummaging through European cities"
- West Coast Performer Magazine
"10"
- Popchild (Barcelona)
"Cute pop-rock that sounds like Hellogoodbye with Weezer, and a little bit of The Flaming Lips. Stand out single: Stand-In."
- America's College Music Magazine (August 2007)
"Par Avion Band fuses elements of dance electro-rock, moog synth, space-age bossa nova and even psychedelica and Brit pop to create a fun smorgasbord of styles, playfully called 'Pop of the Future'. Hot off their Los Angeles debut, Par Avion Band is coming to Sacramento State’s Redwood Room on March 19, 2008."
- Campus Activities Magazine (February 2008)
"Merging the instrumental and ambient slant of The Orb with a bubbly yet subtle push associated with the likes of The Feeling does seem a strange broth. In this case of Los Angeles’ Paul Avion and Par Avion Band, it certainly has its charms. For ‘Ménage a Trois’, the inclusion of a coaxing femme element emboldens the calming impact.
A vocal hold of the Neil Finn ilk reaches out through ‘Stand Up, Be A Man’ and it harks back to the days when pop music was expansive and relaxing.
‘New Years Eve 3005’, whilst giving the impression of a futurist NU Rave stomp, is indeed a calming, hushed percussion crunching folk/ambient/pop mould that allows Avion to give his vocals a mood instilling drag.
Tender, but life-trodden messages are delivered at a relaxed gait. Avion gives off the impression that he is just about managing to stay a yard ahead of burdening worry."

"The Invincibles" sounds great! I love that the songs I've heard so far (five) have just enough of a sort of "signature" sound, without all sounding the same....nice!!
