"Their newest cd, “Back in Black and White” has a sound that is relentlessly pure power pop that can rock out just about harder than anyone else around."

Kier Byrnes, What's Up Magazine
"Looks like everything is coming up Jake for Jake and the Jakes, with a great deal of class power rock going on here.

Joel Simches, The Noise Magazine (Everything's Jake release)
“Jake and the Jakes are a throwback. Listening to this debut CD you can almost convince yourself that punk rock never happened, this is your basic straight up rock, light on the roll and heavy on the riffs, plenty of riffs, and plenty of good songs ”

Brian Mosher, BMO's World (Everything's Jake release)
“There's nothing pretty about Jake & The Jakes because this is rock & roll in it's purest form. Raw, loud, emotive and totally in your face.
There's lots of reasons to like Jake & The Jakes but subtlety isn't one of them, Rock & Roll anyone?”

Doug Sloane, The Metronome (Everything's Jake release)
“This CD is catchy, has interesting and varied musical ideas within the power trio structure, is nicely produced, has great instrumentation, and at seven songs, is a perfect length.”

Robin Umbley, The Noise Magazine - (Last Call release)
“Guitarist Sean Murray, singer-drummer-guitarist (how does he do it) Jim Maz and bassist Jeff Murray are loud and proud.... but you wouldn't want it any other way”
—
Doug Sloan, The Metronome - (Last Call release)
“Jake and The Jake's latest release builds on the power pop, radio-friendly hard rock that they developed with their previous releases. The newest release seems to have been built around the energy of their live shows.”
—
Kier Byrnes, Whats Up Magazine (Last Call release
“Harkening back to the good ole days of early '90s rock, Last Call recalls the sound of the Seattle grunge scene of yesteryear. The powerful vocals of Jim Maz are delivered deftly and could be confused with Scott Weiland if one isn't listening carefully.”
