Album Notes

"This is the music anyone over 40 grew up on, only cooler- New England's British Invasion for the new millennium."
-m, Face Magazine-

"The Frotus Caper's second effort is easily one of the best albums released in recent memory."
- Dan Short, Casco Bay Weekly-

"The Frotus Caper has a wonderful collective sense of the history of pop crossing rock boundaries. Thus they are able to combine influences with their own twist to make a terrific hybrid.
- Bennie Green, Face Magazine-

"Their sophomore full-length release, Paper, Scissors, Rock and Roll, is packed with feel-good goof-bop complete with banjo, keys, horns, and accordion in a basic rock quartet. The Frotus owes a debt to English gods of confectionery wit XTC and Elvis Costello."
-Boston Soundcheck

"On the Frotus Caper's new album, Paper, Scissors, Rock and Roll, you'll find a vivid pop world colored with flashes of XTC, Madness, the Beatles, Dexy's Midnight Runners, and Joe Jackson.
- Josh Rogers, The Portland Phoenix

"There were three to four hundred people in the room and any applause was loud. Rightfully so, Frotus Caper ate it up an performed their music accordingly."
-Steve Lea, Casco Bay Weekly

a thoughtful, diverse and infectuously fun album
author: Declan M.
A fresh surprise to hear a band so unabashedly doing what they love doing and that is creating a thoughtful, diverse and infectuously fun album. They've done their homework and it shows. Let's all wish for more like this.
