“Dallas' Red Monroe are somewhat of a mystery to me. Their MySpace page lacks any real information, save for the band members' names and a few photos, and their official site is equally as vague when it comes to details of the quintet's genesis. Not that it really matters I suppose, as this outfit's music is more than capable of standing on its own without any sort background history. It doesn't really matter where they've played and who they've played with because their unique blend of garage, punk and psych rock is worthy of your attention on sheer artistic merit alone.” - The Tripwire
"Red Monroe’s influences are obvious: the Stones, New York Dolls, The Animals, Moby Grape, and even a little Hold Steady action. But the Dallas band does ’em all proud, mainly by not ripping them off. Like good lyric poetry, Red Monroe captures the essence of the Stones and company, which is way more important than merely aping beats, riffs, and poses. Other, less developed, garage-ish locals, take note: You get to the heart of the stuff you’re trying to reanimate not by describing it inch by inch but by suggesting it in broad strokes.” - Ft. Worth Weekly
“The sound this time around for this ever evolving crew? Check it… think The Clash on Peyote: progressive indie-punk tunes with a little dab of psychedelic goodness on top. I know what you’re thinking, “Whatever man….psycadelic prog-punk, that’s totally been done before”. Well you’re wrong, dumb ass, cause it hasn’t. I even double checked on Wikipedia to make sure” - Rockouts.com
“Sounding big enough to fill a stadium, Red Monroe used massive keyboard noises, offbeat drums and Rush-like mid-song switches. While the band sounded like something you think you've heard before, every song surprised with roaring vocals and intensity.” ChartAttack,Canada
“Red Monroe’s new record shakes and shimmies with a style that culls from everything from new wave to the disco-era Stones to the choppy, danceable rock of the likes of Modest Mouse." - Dallas Observer
