Unlike too many musicians with a point to make, Every Good Boy puts as much, maybe more, faith in their music as in their lyrics, and that makes a big difference. You have to admire a band nobody’s heard of that writes a no-sell-out song; you end up liking them when you discover that you’re singing along. Option

Every Good Boy takes pop music, slows it down to the pace of the Twin Peaks soundtrack, and ads enough twists to each song to give this CD an almost eerie feeling, almost as if Rod Serling had engineered this CD. Alternative Press
