“Those Darlins come off like the toughest, most dangerous group around. They deliver thrilling song after thrilling song that’ll have you hyping them to all your rock & roll friends as soon the album stops spinning.” – ALL MUSIC GUIDE

“Hooky, saucy, punky songwriting in a mood somewhere between Be Your Own Pet and the Donnas, only savvier. Those Darlins have mouths on them, yes they do. But their mouths are connected to their hearts and minds, and amped by loud guitars” – ROBERT CHRISTGAU A-, NPR’s ALL THING CONSIDERED

“My favorite band right now is Those Darlins, who have a really cool garage-country vibe. They’re doing something totally out-of-the-box.” – Bethany Cosentino of Best Coast in Rolling Stone’s Best of Rock

“an instant garage/power-pop classic that would make everyone from Iggy Pop to King Tuff proud.” – PASTE: 8.5 out of 10
