“Black Eye is an EP that fans of late 90’s power pop and rock will lap up, think of American Hi-Fi, Cheap Trick, Fountains of Wayne and Lit but with touches of 90’s rock and punk thrown into the mix and you have a release that doesn’t so much leave you with a Black Eye as a ridiculous grin on your face”

“Judging by the sound of the EP, Classified Frequency has quite a few live gigs under their belt through which they have perfected their sound. There’s no way that the tightness and musical unison exhibited on these four tracks can be studio-modified, even with all the trickery. It is the blood sweat and energy of those live gigs that does the trick.”

“This is the kind of old-school powerpop / pop punk that gets me in a good mood from the very first second of the opening track "Tenet" to the 4th track "Complicated"”

““Unbelievable pop/rock live show!””

“This Maryland based band kicks things off with volume and skill.”

“Power Pop at its best!!”

"The three piece punk-pop outfit is comprised of some of the most talented musicians in the D.C. area. While they are just a trio, their live sets feel as if they have doubled the amount of people onstage." "The IOTA Club is typically filled with the chit-chatter of patrons this early in the night, but the fact that Classified Frequency managed to shut the entire venue up and actually pay attention is something to be said." "...they are a band that I’m still ashamed I haven’t discovered sooner."

"Their tunes thunder along at 100mph, chunky guitars, strong hooks, great melodies and a vocal delivery to die for, as for the drummer, I'll have two of whatever he has before going out this weekend!"

“CF’s sound is super-tight and reminiscent of great bands like Cheap Trick. If you get a sec you should check out “Heart Attack” on their ReverbNation, a funny touch-in-cheek tale about wasting time on the wrong gal and how a heart attack would be preferable. We’ve all been there.”

“I recently interviewed Matthew Berry, the man behind the music of Classified Frequency. He is a local musician who had just released Heart Attack EP. His music is exceptional, as is the amount of thought, time, and effort he put into his work. I wanted to tell people about how he did it. It is a business after all...”
