Who Cares? This is what "professionals" say about us.------------------------->
John Hoeffleur is a songwriter with a Midas-like touch in articulating the pious nature of love and heartbreak (8/10) - NME
"In the crowded alt-rock scene, John Hoeffleur - lead singer and songwriter of The Beauty Shop - stands out like a dirty thumb with a desperately bitten nail...Crisis Helpline is a country album tailor-made for the punk and emo kids...The beautifully observed The Love I Could Not Save smacks of slacker apathy, but Hoeffleur twists a fairytale into a comment on the Columbine shootings in Rumplestiltskin Lives... exhilarating". (Guardian, live review)
The Love I Could Not Save contains more naked emotion in 4 minutes than most bands manage in an entire career
Sunday Herald (4 STARS)
"Intimate yet inclusive, intense yet casual - a lovely slice of crafted melancholia"
Classic Rock (4 STARS)
A unique and very appealing sound
Record Of The Day
Moody, wistful and melodic
The Independent (4 STARS)
God bless those who keep it simple
The Herald (3 STARS)
"A lo-fi punk aesthetic at work that is as much J Mascis as Johnny Cash"
Mojo (3 STARS)
A fine follow-up
Q (3 STARS)
Violent Femmes fans will find much to please them
