"I was absolutely floored by what these kids were doing. They successfully incorporate elements of prog-rock, punk, pop, electronica and about a zillion other influences into their cleverly arranged pastiche of sound. The energy of this band is contagious, and I highly recommend anyone who’s into compelling and original music to check them out. You won’t be disappointed."

"[DIGITAL HEART] Yeah Great Fine would make a perfect soundtrack for an early-1990s Sega game about a robot with feelings. The band's digital compositions are sonically less linear than your average electronic band, and they're actually emotional—giving the local quintet's sound a broader intent than just trying to get rugrats in neon purple skinny jeans and gold rompers to wig out on the dance floor."
- WHITNEY HAWKE (Williamette Week)
"In the old days, according to conventional wisdom, punk rock records sounded shitty because getting access to a professional-quality recording setup was prohibitively expensive. These days, you can turn a laptop into a recording studio for less than it costs to buy a used touring van. So when a record sounds shitty in 2009, it's either because the bands are just bad at recording music or it's a deliberate aesthetic choice, an intentional nod to those bygone times and their innocent "authenticity." With the backing of indie heavyweight Matador, scuzz-punks Times New Viking could presumably produce pristine pop nuggets if they wanted to, but instead, on latest album Born Again Revisited as much as on previous releases, they make a clipped, fuzzy, blown-out racket, roughing up the obvious hooks of their songs until they are bruised, bloody things. They're great live." - WWEEK
You guys killed it at the East End so hard. God I love you guys. Seeing you gives me such massive bonerzorzzzz... Can't wait to play with you guys again. A week from tomorrow! Yayyyyy!
FINALLY! a friends-band that people might give a shit if u "know the guy in it." Great job, all, for reelz. It sounds like Don Cab boofed some sweet band and they made another sweet band...yeah.
Oh! Sick! Yes, of course we are down for round two. That is awesome, so stoked to do it again. It truly was great the other night. I am going to try to make it out to your next show as well, pending work... damn work
That was so awesome tonight... You guys are really really incredible. So damn fun, and so good. Some serioussssly interesting ideas from you guys. We are so glad to have played with you guys, and someone kind of on the same page as us finally. It is ike the opposite of us but the same. If math music was a pie chart, then when we are in the same place playing, it fills up the better part of the graph. So stoked! Look forward to playing with you guys again, and again... and again. And possibly watching some Walker in between said events.
