“Proggy, Poptastic, Space Rock”

— Kevin Hill, The Hill DC

“Fans of Muse, take note. Molehill offers some of the biggest pop rock on this side of the Atlantic.”

— David Hintz, DC Rock Live

“There is a certain emotive flair, a sense of epicness that makes it feel like the ideal music to score a major peak in an action film.”

— Jeremy Frazier, Soundfuse Magazine

“Molehill could be looking at a very bright future. If they keep playing shows like last night’s, they’ll have no trouble growing their fanbase. If you get the chance, check them out soon before their tickets are only available on Live Nation and you have to pay nineteen dollars in fees to get in.”

— Josh Terzino, Music. Defined.

“ Molehill brought their Muse-esque funk propelled by the epic bass guitar groove of Trevor Jones to a packed show at the Beat Kitchen...”

— Bobby Minelli, Windy City Rock

“There is a lot of passion behind Molehill's music. Peter is great guitarist, and can riff and pluck with the best of them, as well being able to sing.......”

— Steve Dustcircle, Columbus Music Review

“ I knew Molehill could thrill a venue, but was curious to see how a room full of folks who had come to see the old rocker would react. They loved it! I was delighted at the reception the crowd had to new, original and edgy songs. Luckily, Peter's guitar packed them so full of hooks that they were nearly burned in the brain by the time the songs were over. The rhythm section sounded fantastic, with bassist Trevor Jones locked in to the drums and bringing the proverbial funk.”

— Bobby Minelli, Windy City Rock

“Indie rock w/ Metal-y guitar....Energetic.”

— Chris Svetlik, Brightest Young Things

“Drawing upon this ability to instantly alter their energy level, they use being incredibly in-sync with each other as a way to punctuate each song emotionally as well as musically. ”

— Sean Brna, Our Vinyl

“The audience was rockin to the rhythmic beat and thunderous guitar crescendos...inspired passion and fire....at times epic sounding”

— Tanya Vega, Southside on the Town

“Molehill is an experience they have discovered the formula for great music. Classic sound, and they're absolutely amazing to see LIVE!!!”

— ricardo iamuuri, PBS Documentary featured singer songwriter, Independent Artist

"Easy-to-like Rock"

— Matt Pais, Metromix Chicago

"Molehill....Definitely something to make a mountain out of"

— Michelle Dudley, Clubline Chicago

"this guy puts on a solid rock show, sacrificing blood during his performances..."

— Roger Reis, Buzz S&E
