REVIEWS

“This band has a haunting, unique sound based on musical ability, not gimmicks.”
– BILLBOARD

– PMS NEW MUSIC REPORT

“The real kick is the way they play choppy riffs and make them sound smooth.”
– MUSICIAN MAGAZINE

“Accessible without selling out...great hooks and interesting guitar work, neo-psychedelic Iyrics...Highly recommended.”

– ON CAMPUS MAGAZINE

“This four piece group combines garage rock and art rock to arrive at some rather tasty results.”
– BUFFALO EVENING NEWS

“PERSONAL EFFECTS mine the quirky rock field exemplified by bands like the B-52’s and the Bongos. But they spice it with nods to Blondie and tips of their collective hat to older sources like Jefferson Airplane and Ritchie Valens.”
– MUSIC AND SOUND OUTPUT MAGAZINE
