Amplifier Magazine :: Sour Deluxe continue to impress on the EP White Noise. Lead singer/guitarist Jamie Jacobs cuts loose with some strong vocals on the brazen title track [while] guitarist Greg Jones continually challenges her with his energetic strumming.
Big Takeover :: Fuzzy Bass grooves and kick in the head drums, nice guitar whine and fly, and the vocals are almost perfectly cool... [it all] makes me feel good about pretty much everything again. I think I could love this band.
DoSomethingPretty.com :: Sour Deluxe combine big, bruised post-metallic guitars with the overall dynamics forged by the early-90s shoe gazers on the other side of the pond. The four-piece is well-served by the five cuts on White Noise.
HighBias.com :: Ass-kickin' power pop... Jamie Jacobs (along with lead axe Greg Jones) pen almost ridiculously catchy melodic rock tunes and sing them in a strong, appealing voice... My only complaint about White Noise is that it's only five songs long. Such a tease.
Jim DeRogatis, Chicago Sun Times :: Guitarist-vocalist Jamie Jacobs and the boys in Sour Deluxe continue to pursue their Brit pop meets Midwestern power-pop sound on yet another winning indie release, the "White Noise" EP.
GirlsBeersGuitars.com :: American guitar pop sensibilities mixed equally with shoe gazing brit-pop... Layers of catchy guitars hand-in-hand with a well-crafted rack of effects lay the groundwork [and] seals the deal with playful lyrics and infectious harmonies.
Sour Deluxe formed from a lengthy collaboration between guitarist/vocalist Jamie Jacobs and guitarist Greg Jones. The band has been impressing audiences and listeners for several years with their unique blend of psychedelic rock and brit-pop that immediately sets them apart from other bands. Jamie's powerful voice and emotionally charged lyrics have brought her acclaim as one of the most respected front people in the Chicago music scene. Utilizing an impressive combination of tools as well as talent, Greg has painstakingly crafted the lush guitar sound that gives Sour Deluxe its own voice.
Sour Deluxe's last release, WHITE NOISE, was recorded by Mark Ruble (Hum, Shiner, Poster Children) at Pogo Studios in Champaign, IL. and mixed by Noble Hibbs at Gravity Studios in Chicago. Extreme dynamics and altered tunings mix with smart lyrics and fuzzed out guitars to create an exciting and engaging listen. Sour Deluxe has been playing shows at prominent Chicago venues including House of Blues, Metro, and Double Door. With each concert, the band displays their ability to garner new fans, as well as bring back fans loyal to Sour Deluxe.
