"Seattle’s Skeletons with Flesh on Them are way too damn good not to be sitting with a substantial record contract supporting them...Skeletons strike you as a quirky melodic indie rock band that clearly has that ‘local band sound’, but are also breaking out of that mold. Their one-sheet comparison to Pavement is dead on for the quirky indie moments, but Scott Roots’ vocals are too goofy/nerdy (in a good way) leading the Skeletons’ melodic charge to pin as a knock off."
Exoduster.com, Full Review


"While listening to their EP The Fish Don’t Mind I was reminded of the following bands: Cherry Peel era Of Montreal, old Piebald (if Travis could sing in key), the theme song from Cheers, Pinkerton era Weezer, and Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. I was overjoyed to hear a band that was using my favorite aspects of jangly 90s indie pop rock, and using them well without feeling dated. Skeletons do a great job keeping their pop catchy and warmhearted without being cheesy, which is no easy task."
Jeff Kirby, The Stranger, Full Review

"Skeletons with Flesh on Them (really, who isn't?) are part of the thriving Seattle pop scene and then really know how to write a power pop song. Their EP, The Fish Don't Mind (self-released, 7.5/11) is ridiculously catchy, especially songs like "Houseguest," a song that attacks you like a lost Ted Leo track or "Neon Lights of Reno," the most developed and complex song on the disc."
Erik Gonzalez, Three Imaginary Girls, Full Review

"Don't worry - Seattle quartet Skeletons with Flesh on Them don't sound anything like their name might imply. (No death metal shred-fests about zombies, that is.) Rather, they play jangly, frenetic rock - think a more-melodic Pavement."
Michael Connelly, Seattle Sound Magazine, Full Review

"The backup vocals on the ebullient “Bein’ in Love” were right on, and by the time they got to “Neon Lights of Reno” I was fully convinced their adventurous pop stylings are going to win them plenty more fans soon."
Josh Lovseth, Sound on the Sound, Full Review

"...Skeletons with Flesh on Them stick to the perfect mixture of guitar driven indie rock and pop melodies. The Fish Don't Mind is the first real surprise that I've heard in 2008…If you like indie rock with some pop, then you should definitely investigate Skeletons with Flesh on Them."
Michael Phillips, scenepointblank, Full Review

"This Seattle based band cranks out some sorta eccentric pop-rock. Think jangly guitar…early 90s rock…A great little find for fans of all types of pop-rock as long as you were a fan of Weezer or a peer at one point or another."
Delusions of Adequacy, Full Review

"This band hails from Seattle, and though I've never heard of them before, this is certainly a great start! It opens with the bouncy and fun "Bein' In Love", which grabbed my attention rather quickly, and then the super-poppy "Houseguests" made it stick."
Chris McFarlane, IndiePages, Full Review

"...feels like you’ve suddenly been teleported to a dive bar in Nashville"

the Helio Sequence...

spent a bit more time with the album. My thoughts are this: One of the greatest musically with one of the worst lyrically or vocally.

Fun show in the big capitol city last night... now that you guys are using maracas you should change your name to "Skeletons Con Carne." Think about it.

I just cancelled a few credit cards, because I'm doing some vaguely sheisty consolidation of my debt and other finances. And I had to make all these phone calls and talk to robots and push buttons and repeat things over and over because the robots didn't understand wtf I was saying. And then I had to talk to people in Ohio, and they transfered me to people in Utah. And then the Utah people were talking about all this boring stuff like interest rates and cash rewards. And then they were just kind of being nosy and trying to bully me and make me feel bad for closing my account, but I persisted and finally got it closed.

I was listening to my friends, the Skeletons the whole time. So it wasn't really all that bad. Round of drinks on me in Olympia, boys - I'll put it on my new credit card.

Ya know, I was debating on whether to come see you guys tonight or stay home and watch reruns of the A-Team... but after the mention of Zwan I feel I have no choice but to come watch you in all your Zwan-inspired glory.
