"Everyone is trying to be garage in Seattle, but Thunderbird Motel is actually doing it. It's pure predigital unadulterated rock, and I can't help but love it."
Josh Lovseth - Sound on the Sound
"...experimenting with bluesy, Black Keys-inspired guitar solos, and an edgier, lo-fi sound that leans more toward Sonics-era garage rock"
Katie Sauro - the Wig Fits All Heads
"...rootsy garage rock that would shame most quote-unquote garage bands playing today, Thunderbird Motel kick out the jams with the best of them."
Jeff Echert -the Inlander
"Oh, if the walls of the Thunderbird Motel on Aurora Avenue could talk. Think of the incredible stories of hookers and cocaine it could tell, the tales of unmatched bravado and human frailty. It would be sacrilege then if a band decided to use the name of Seattle's landmark adultery shanty for anything other than pure, unadulterated rock and roll. Luckily, the band Thunderbird Motel are everything you could hope from a musical incarnation of such a gritty, damnable place. They play straight-up, no-bullshit rock and roll with just the right amount of blues—the perfect soundtrack to the best night of your life, before you wake up and realize you've just ruined everything."
JEFF KIRBY - The Stranger
