"Jukes's insightful tunes of self-depreciation and the human condition are pretty and poppy. Think Loudon Wainwright III meets a heavy metal Steely Dan." "[F]ine bursts of oddly simple life sketches.... [T]asty pop songs." "[D]elightful pop hooks and whimsical lyrics.... [S]omething for everyone, unless you are just way too serious about life." "Hooks galore run through the band's clever rock tunes; their guitars crackle with the inventiveness of Tom Verlaine and the band Television. Television - the tube variety - comes through in the pop culture these kids name-check.... I don't know whether they deserve a record deal or a spot on Nick at Nite." "[J]ustifies the hope generated by [David Jukes'] infrequent appearances on local stages. [O]ddball pop that references the Statue of Liberty, Christy Ward and the Beatles. [T]he lyrics and [Jukes'] fuzzy guitar are honest treats." "[S]ome of the most inventive and entertaining if not quirky and sort of odd local music I'd heard.... [T]here's a lot going on here." |
