"If you thought “high school sweethearts” was just a random catch-phrase, you’re mistaken. The Audiophiles’ infectious indie riffs are way beyond their years but not stiff in any way."
-Emily Logan

"I owe The Audiophiles... a candy gram for making me feel like a teenager again."

"Right now they are my Bay Area band to watch."

"These four high school guys from San Francisco have been tearing up the local music scene for awhile now and they deserved to be noticed."

"My favorite rock and roll high schoolers The Audiophiles have released a new EP, Run Away. These four new tunes are fresh indy pop but still informed by the musicians' deeply eclectic influences, from folk to nerd rock, bluegrass to pure punk. For more than a year, the Audiophiles have been tearing up Bay Area bars, including ones they're not old enough to get into. This is their tightest, best produced, and most, er, mature recording to date. Check out the new sound of young America."
-David Pescovitz

"[The Audiophiles] have begun to carve out a space of their own within the Bay Area's vibrant live music scene."
-Nate Seltenrich
East Bay Express
"I can't imagine why anone would dare think that the Paper Tiger unfairly promotes the most talented band at Lick... We displayed no opinion about them, and resisted writing about the adrenaline injected into the audience by these four profound men... An Audiophiles live show [is] the entertainment experience of a lifetime. We cannot be held responsible for their performance, filled with such grace that a certain reporter who wishes to remain anonymous fell in love with their chiseled features and adorably erotic stage presence."
-Chris Khatami
The Paper Tiger
"In all of my over 8 years of booking, i have only seemed to have found a few bands that can not only draw huge crowds, be professional, are cool, and perform some amazing songs that their fans love, well The Audiophiles are one of them. They continue to grow & develop very well, The Audiophiles are " rock for all ages."
