“Frank Royster's Innocence is Bliss is a heady helping of perfectly produced power-pop, Beatles-accented guitar rock, and bittersweet balladry.”

“Fans of great pop music and classic songwriting, listen up! Frank Royster's "Innocence Is Bliss" is guaranteed to be one of your favorite albums of 2010.”

"Innocense Is Bliss" is produced by Spongetones leader Jamie Hoover so the quality stamp is all over this by name association and default but it`s Royster that brings the goods as this is his best collection of songs without question. EXTREMELY Highly Recommended!

“For those who enjoy modern, intelligent pop of a timeless variety, the sort of music that is informed by the best of straightforward Merseybeat and powerpop, Innocence is Bliss is highly recommended.”

“Innocence is Bliss is as good, or better, than most major label pop projects I’ve heard in recent years. I definitely recommend it to fans of pop music.”

“Brandishing lots of jangly guitars, and an unabashed fetish for British Invasion pop, this is Frank's sophomore effort for Kool Kat! The former Fire Apes guitarist is aided here by former bandmates Tommy Hamer (drums) and Julian Volpe (bass). The results are a match made in pop heaven!”

“I had the opportunity to listen to the Compilation CD which has tracks from every artist to appear on the show.My favorites are "Obvious" by The Saving Graces, "Brenna, You!" by Frank Royster, and "Pretend" by Crisis.”

“A smart mix of garage-rock riffs, arpeggiated rhythm guitar work, raspy double harmonies, and punchy drum beats, Charleston singer/guitarist/songwriter Frank Royster's newly-released solo album Thru The Years embraces the basics of classic "power pop" and explores the melodic possibilities.”

“Everything on the CD, from the songwriting on down to the packaging, oozes of a professional attitude mixed with a DIY spirit. Royster should be proud of himself here. ”

“The opening tune, 'I'm So Glad' is a gorgeous slice of jangly guitar power pop, with echoes of the early Smithereens in the vocals and the song structure.”

“His new solo album is called "Thru The Years" and like a Pinata, it contains lots of musical treats. This is essential listening for power pop fans. ”
