Sounds Like:

"There are certain elements of this band that I hold very true to my heart. The song writing, while wrapped up in some very neatly packaged alt rock, is very true, revealing, and for the most part so damn clever. Wally Dogger is an alternative power-pop rock band with a touch of garage sound and punk wit, based out of the windy city. This group of guys have immersed themselves in big city living and have nothing but witty commentary which pokes fun at the standards of relationships and social hierarchy. The lyrics alone are entertaining, but match it with some brilliantly composed rock and roll and a great stage performance and you are set."

"Ironic goof rock à la Cake, They Might Be Giants and other geeks, Wally Dogger lays it on so thick the effect is overwhelmingly unctuous. "
- ..Time Out Chicago..

"the kind of pop rock band very popular in Canada right about now. I guess you’d call them “Nerd Rock” because they write songs about “nerdy” things, like being an IT guy, but really, what band doesn’t refer to binary code in their songs these days–it’s very en vogue (the phrase, not the she-group) and metrosexualesque."
- ..The Post-Rockist..

"the kind of music I'd expect to pay $5 for: perfectly forgettable."
- ..Miss the Signpost..

"The group plays straight forward pop rock in the vein of, say, Tom Petty, but with a much more youthful edge as they sing songs about their girlfriends text messaging them at inopportune moments and the timelessness of “tramp stamps.”
- ..Omaha City Weekly..

"They lured me into their tour van and made me look at hirsute pornography!"
