"Southern Backtones is not Southern rock. It is a sea of expansive, dark rock with the unmistakable, vampy touch of David Bowie and the indigo mood of Echo & the Bunnymen." - Houston Chronicle
"The only way this could get any beautifully darker is if it grew black wings and flew away." - Ft. Worth Weekly
"Alt-rock guitars, darkly poetic lyrics and a vocal style reminiscent of the mid-90s Britpop movement...the musicianship and songwriting on this effort are top notch. Highly recommended." - Exclaim! Canada's Music Authority
"Smacks of mass appeal!" - Houston Press
"If U2 came from Texas and were weaned on The Cult's big-guitar panoramas they would be called the Southern Backtones and they would rock." - Download.com
"A must see of local music." - Daily Cougar
"Rich sounding well crafted rockers." - ASCAP.com
"The Southern Backtones have songs that the Killers and Strokes would kill for." - MetalUK.com
"Best local release in Houston in 2006." - David Cobb, donewaiting.com
"Excellent CD! Highest recommendation." - The Scene Magazine
