The Green Hour Band Self-Titled Album
Out Now on Kingdom Records
"this album has the frantic force of a tsunami."
-Joshua Kloke, gloriousnoise.com
"sounds like Their Satanic Majesties Request as recorded by the Beatles and released on ESP Disc. It's far-out, man."
-Jeffrey Morgan, Detroit Metro Times
"Ultimately The Green Hour Band, which often sounds like vintage Oasis, is young, happy, dynamic, and unpredictable rock best suited for loud boisterous parties."
-Sarah Malik, The Gateway
"Green Hour simply dig loud, sweaty, far-out music and they play it with gusto and without pretension."
-Mary Christa O'Keefe, Edmonton Vue
"À prendre en grande quantité, à n'importe quelle heure."
-Maxime Morin, Bandeaparte
"Best local release in the last 20 years!"
-Rob Firth, Neptoon Records
"The name refers to the practice of sipping absinthe, but the Green Hour Band's debut sounds more like the result of bathtub acid."
-Adrian Mack, Georgia Straight
"this debut is an eveloping, jangling, stereophonic, echo-plexed, psychedelic experience."
-Mark Bignell, Skinny Magazine
"Often loud and abrasive in that erratic proto-punk garage style, the Green Hour Band is as genuine as you'd hope."
-Evan Davies, Now Magazine
"There are a lot of good Vancouver bands playing in a huge variety of styles and this one has outlined a place of its own, which makes it the best in an exclusive circle."
-Tom Harrison, The Province Newspaper
"TGHB brings uniqueness to their music, with a definite Syd Barrett undertone, and that garage-esque thing we've heard from people like The Strokes or Franz Ferdinand."
-Peter Bremner, SoundProof Magazine
"On their self-titled debut full-length Vancouver, Canada's The Green Hour Band blends all the best elements of psychedelia (The Yardbirds, Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd), proto-punk (The Stooges, The Velvet Underground) and good old fashioned garage rock (Captain Beefheart, MC5) into some of the best hyper-retro 60's revival that I've heard in a long while."

"Psych-garage-rock grooves with that snarling 60's attitude. A sound that captures the essence of The Stones, The Sonics, bands found on The Nuggets series. Raw guitar-driven combustion that pounds, that roars, that keeps that dangerous flame burning brightly. This is real rock and roll in all it's wicked glory."
-lonelyvagabond.blogspot.com
"This Vancouver band will make you forget about the newest Black Angels and Spiritualized releases."
-CJAM Radio Music Review
"the songs groove, the tunes are catchy, and you get the feeling that The Green Hour Band would put on a great live show."
-Erin Bell, sceneandheard.ca
