"To be futuristic, you must be cutting-edge, innovative, and a pioneering revolutionary. Unbelievably, the two gentlemen of Romeo Spike somehow accomplish this"
- Lucy Shaffer, The Carolinian Online (Feb 17, 2009)
"Specter’s Ghost ... is not only the album’s centerpiece and aural definition of this group’s aesthetic, but is quite possibly this writer’s favorite song of the year."
- Josh Ruffin, Metro Spirit (Apr 22, 2009)
"The blending of uniqueness is perfectly laced over a radio friendly mix of pop and rock driven sounds making this album an easy listen and at the same time falling into the category of "doesn't sound like anything else out there right now."
- guestlist magazine (Feb 21, 2009)
"this first effort is resoundingly engaging, resulting in an album that's absolutely worth the fight."
- Charley Lee, Flagpole (May 13, 2009)
"The talent involved in the project is undeniable."
- Daniel Calaway, The Inkwell (April 30, 2009)
"The album [For The Cause] is almost like a space ship, it blasts off with the energizing "Spaceman" and then drifts away into a calm tranquility that can only be described as fantastic."

"Romeo Spike might sound like a martini, but the grooves on the band’s debut disc go down so smooth you might forget you’re out of your seat and on the dance floor."
- Alex Young, FAZER Online Music Magazine (Apr 23, 2009)
A literary allusion, the artistic and almost mockingly decorative Romeo Spikes were meant to keep young "Romeos" from climbing up the poles to meet their "Juliets" in the balconies of 19th Century Spanish townhouses of New Orleans. The presence of a diminished number of Romeo Spikes remain still today in the French Quarter and also sprinkled throughout Savannah, GA, Charleston, SC and Pensacola, FL.
