“The charm of it all is almost overwhelming. Luckily though, the endearing authenticity and downright heart behind the record is matched and swallowed entirely by the throbbing lo-fi pulse of the being itself- like some kind of glorious bastard offspring of Pavement, Weezer and Radiohead, Ralpheene are scuzzy yet sweet, melodic but with a punch, i.e. all the goods bits about music crossed with all the other good bits.”

“The Texas youngsters draw from so many different influences; THE DEAD KENNEDYS, CIRCLE JERKS, very old recordings from THE DIVINYLS, and THE REPLACEMENTS that I imagine an audience of people two, even three times their age, really digging on this. They literally will be playing their music to audiences old enough to be their parents, for God’s sake! So, I’m in…I dig em’, and I know any early 80’s Punkers and Alternative snooters will too.”

"For me music is meant to be as inspiration, as a voice or a whisper in your mind that encourages you and lifts you up. It is the only thing that can heal your soul or your spirit. This is what the music of Jayden's Playground does for me."
