"Playing with exuberant energy, SB balances shouty wildness with homespun harmonies." Willamette Week
“This ridiculously young, gritty Portland quartet is wise beyond its years.” Willamette Week
“Birthed in basements with a sound polished amid the sweet chaos of a summertime house party, Southern Belle represent the wide-eyed second shift of Portland’s music scene.” Portland Mercury
“Chances are, if you’re only 17-20 years in on the young, up and coming Portland Music scene, You’ve heard of Southern Belle.” PDX Magazine
"Listening to the song (Sunnyside) gives me the same instant sugar-rush jolt that I felt when I first heard the Unicorns, and, well, that’s pretty high praise considering Who Will Cut Our Hair When We’re Gone is still one of my favorite records. Summer is just around the corner, folks. Keep the sunnyside up." Willamete Week

TUESDAY 8/11/09: MARK TWAIN INDIANS, THE VALLEY ARENA, OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN
“[SMART ROCK] Don’t let the riffage scare you. The Valley Arena’s new disc, We Died, finds the SoCal crew engaging in hard rock as smart as it is heavy: Tricky post-hardcore guitar licks are there to buoy cleverly jingoistic turns of phrase. Fans of bass-heavy ‘90s indie rock like Jawbox and Seaweed ought to dig the group’s smartly aggressive aesthetic, which grows in spurts with each release. And you thought nobody was making worthwhile rock ’n’ roll anymore. Psshh.” - CASEY JARMAN, The Willamette Week
