XMU Unsigned Artist of the Week (July 07); XMU Best of 2007 (December 07)
- XM Radio - July/December 2007

The [record’s] pull may come from Coogan’s vocals, spiky guitar or a keyboard riff that will stay lodged in your head. Everything is much more Warped Tour than Lollapalooza, with plenty of muted guitars and soaring choruses, and it all sounds as squeaky clean as can be. It’s a pretty savvy mix of new-wave nostalgia and pop-punk energy coated in an indie veneer…
- The Washington Post - July 2007

The Dance Party exudes a keen sense of pop sensibility, which is really the cornerstone of shipshape dance rock… Coogan’s delivery can be snarly, animated and endearing in one uppercut... His lines are glammed up for the dancing queens but gritty enough for DC’s long line-up of seasoned punks and post-punks.
- AbsolutePunk.net - December 2007

Known for generating a fever pitch at shows, The Dance Party gets its fix every time the rockers step on stage… Friction! Friction! Friction! - A polished, frenetic, party mix. With a sound reminiscent of Canadian indie darling Hot Hot Heat, the foursome is drawing national attention.
- DC Modern Luxury Magazine - September 2007

From Black Cat to 930 Club it has been all fun all the time. And by fun we mean: some of the finest glam pop in the District, high kicks, intense catching of air, air brushed denim jackets, open bars, closed bars and more. You know, fun. Look it up
- Brightest Young Things - July 2007

A catchy pop punk sound + high-energy, over the top live performances = a band that’s gaining new fans by the bushel every time they play.
- The Washington Post - July 2007

There is an impressive sound to The Dance Party – even a touch of emo – and their wit rivals Ween and the Frogs.
- NBC4.com – The DC Scene – January 2007

A satisfying blend of anarchic rebellion with pop sensibilities...
- Glasswerk (UK) – September 2007

They have arena ready anthems straight from the 80’s… It takes talent to pull off all of those over the top guitar solos and they make them look easy.
- Instrumental Analysis – August 2007
