“It’s pretty safe to say that A Minute Jack Forum is unlike anything else in Madison. How they achieve this with standard rock outfit instrumentation, without keyboards, is admirable...AMJF is subtle, using texture and a variety of acoustic and electric guitar sounds to create a compelling sonic palette.”

— Rick Tvedt, Local Sounds Magazine

“Motoring through finely-tuned grooves intercepting scrambled frequencies, the coiled quartet straddle savvy maps; charting cagey chords, howling catharsis and casual swagger in a welcome storm of contemplative complications, piecing together jigsaw dialectics and redneck intellect gathered from weighty fates, redemptive tensions and restless messages. ”

— John Noyd, Maximum Ink

“The time spent honing their sound before recording Traction Blip served A Minute Jack Forum well; their debut is a very smartly arranged, confident-sounding collection of guitar rock. There are enough hooky numbers to please guitar pop fans, and the occasionally suite-like song structures also provide the complexity to please listeners looking for something a bit more challenging.”

— Bob Koch, The Isthmus

“My initial reaction to Traction Blip by A Minute Jack Forum was to categorize it as a bunch of awkwardly titled songs that weren't terribly impressive. However, several songs like "At Sea with Scale " and "Don't Blame the Strings" invaded my subconscious. Not in an irritating way like the Macarena or that "G6" song by Far East Movement, but more of a peaceful invasion that prompted some more of my attention.”

— Kat Kosiec, Dane101

“Daily Cardinal writer Todd Stevens sits down with lead singer Brian Thorpe of Madison band A Minute Jack Forum.”

— Todd Stevens, The Daily Cardinal

“I have a good feeling that they are worth keeping an eye on.”

— Jesse Russel, Dane101

"Like the bell–tower mechanism from which they take their name, A Minute Jack Forum stands tall, gathering the common strength of ordinary lives. A unified front, calling to arms, accepting everyday inspirations from the neighborhood."

— John Noyd, Maximum Ink Columnist
