“With their excellent debut album, All Y'all, this Atlanta garage-rock band validate the CMJ buzz.” Spin.com
“This Atlanta, Georgia foursome add layers of rural lilt to their Brit-ish pop, garagey grit to others, while sneaking out slight-psych guitar blasts and gang yalps when least expected. If not the wheel rebooted, their self-titled full-length on My Anxious Mouth is stunningly seasoned for a debut.” CMJ.com
"A little scuzzy, a little jangly and a lot awesome" Blender
"Gringo Star – should be literally showered with the same kind of exasperated stammering and fawning heaped onto the stars of the early days of rock and roll, as if these guys were new versions of the Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Buddy Holly, Beatles’ and all of the American standards in doo wop and R&B that were raging through Detroit and Memphis and Harlem." Daytrotter
"Gringo Star left an overall strong impression as they escaped the stage, following an impressive showcase of harmonies, kazoo blowing and bass lines to make your right foot tap along with pleasure" Leeds UK Music Scene
"A tapestry of jangly guitar and multi-part vocal harmonies, and ranges from psychedelia to garage rock to surf pop. A bit off-kilter and more than a little charming, it's Atlanta pop at its best and communicates as well as any recording could what it's like to see the band live. No song better represents the band than the title track (and first single), 'All Y'all': It's anthemic, hook-filled and catchy as hell" Paste
"An outstanding new album" This Week In New York
"All Y'all" is an exuberant rush of early Kinks guitars, tambourines, handclaps, multi-part harmonies, and bits of tinkly piano, all catchy." Pitchfork
"Come On Now" is so obviously a massive hit single in waiting, all surf guitar & 60s pop rhythms." Americana UK
" I would mark All Y'all as one of the most exciting albums of the year, and, probably the best debut release." Blurt
"It's worth picking up just for the title track, an infectious anthem of cynicism, filled with handclaps, multi-part harmonies and guitar hooks you can sink your teeth into." Arkansas Times
"With a catalogue of undeniably danceable — and equally singalong-able — songs, Gringo Star had onlookers twisting and shouting throughout the show." Emory Wheel
"After an incredible performance at this year’s CMJ music festival, All Y’all proves the band’s no fluke. Fourteen tracks filled with swagger and spit. Few bands are able to bolt out of the starting gate with this much fire under their bellies." Ink Kansas City
"From the layered vocal harmonies and jangly distorted guitars to the surf-rock beats and lo-fi production, All Y'All sounds as if it's the lost recording of some obscure – but great – 1960s garage band, not a group of young upstarts from the same city that gave us Ludacris, T.I. and Lil Jon"
The Hype! Today
"By the looks of things, Gringo Star is doing everything correctly. They write exceptional songs, instantly catchy tunes that get in and out with such concision they often bear repeating. They have an eye-catching live show — each of the four guys takes turns swapping vocal, guitar, bass, drums and keyboard duties."
New Haven Advocate
"I'm going to go ahead and already say that Gringo Star are absolutely my favorite band of CMJ. The band's music is happy and the members played musical chairs all throughout the night by switching instruments and vocals, which just proves how talented everyone in the band is." UWIRE
"They've got a killer name and killer tunes. Gringo Star are definitely a band on the rise." The Big Takeover
"On their delicious debut, All Y’All, Gringo Star show great taste while displaying adroit multi-instrumental skills. On first listen, their influences show all the way through to the roots. But over the course of time, each tuneful nugget these Gringos put forth proves to be resiliently original." Aquarian Weekly-New Jersey
"A spin [and] you will be too busy wanting to hear more offerings from Gringo Star's catalog to care about sorting out their musical influences." 7"Atlanta
"But take heart, because if you're 40 or older, there's a lot to like about Gringo Star, a band that already has the hipster 20-somethings in its back pocket, along with the 30-something contingent pretending they're still 20-somethings." Bullz_Eye.Com
"These guys have gone from small shows playing just for friends to tours that jump continents, earning them the title many have given them -- the hardest working band in Atlanta. The album is just what you'd expect from Gringo Star -- fun, skilled and a little world all in itself." Pine Magazine
"Three chords and the truth, garage-rock worth your time." Ear Farm
"Gorgeous" Pop Matters
"Gringo Star has crafted at least a half dozen endlessly listenable songs on a debut well worth seeking out." The Signal -College of NJ Paper
"One of Atlanta’s hardest working bands." Ohmpark

Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for the add. Glad you liked our music! It'd be great if you could make it a show someday but in the meantime, thanks again and have a great week! Boomer
thanks a lot for the add!! Just a note that our music site is called "The Ducks" and there are 75 of our tunes there, all free to download (from our ReverbNation widget) .. Tom and Linda
so. when are the new tour dates going to be revealed to the masses?
i've been crossing every digit i have for days in hopes of a michigan date.
hopefully my twisted bones influenced fate to have your your van stop here for a little rock. a little roll. and a little 'n'.
great songs. i haven't found it in any record shops, which leads me to ordering it online.
curse the postal service. mostly curse my limited patience.
which is taking it's last toll in waiting for new tour dates. i throughly enjoy the songs i have of yours, i've probably driven my family insane by having my only three songs on repeat.
THANX 4 THE ADD ,,,U ROCK,,,I WENT ON E HARMONY AND WAS MATCHED UP WITH AN ALCOHOLIC,CONTROLLING,INSECURE CLOWN,,,WELL IT WAS NICE TO SEE MY EX AGAIN,,,LOL
