“the Jelly Project joyfully eschew needless bullshit filler and flashy razzle-dazzle show-off pyrotechnics on their terrifically primal and stripped-down debut album.”
“If you’re looking for a solid rocking band fronted by a female with a strong set of pipes this band is worth a listen.”
“I can say that there isn’t a second of “Ugly Dirty” that isn’t absorbing and worthwhile. The Jelly Project is a band that is better than 99 percent of what’s out there. It’s as if someone pulled your favourite chosen ‘indie’ band off the stage with the cane, and a simple instruction was given. “With FEELING please!””
“Jelly Project have much to add to the world of music and a sound I look forward to hearing develop further as this is a talented group of composers and musicians with a stunning vocalist to top it all.”
“This is a fun album to listen to and its deeper more reflective qualities begin to shine through upon further spins. It is, above all, nice to hear a female authentically asserting herself in these prepackaged, post veritable times.”
“This rock and roll powerhouse’s originals showcase the band’s talent for precision and quality songwriting”
“No matter where they are, its gonna be a perfect time to get a little “Ugly Dirty” and see what the buzz is all about”
“I think you should draw any comparisons with Janis Joplin with real caution. There are some similarities but this is good enough to stand on it's own feet, decades on and this type of craft still has wide appeal.”
“With the ever changing sounds in today's music, it is fresh sometimes when bands use sounds that are familiar to use but yet use them to make their own unique sound-for me that is The Jelly Project.”
“an overzealous bartender eighty-sixing singer Jelly Thomas for taking a pull from a hip flask while having a cigarette out front.”
“A female vocalist fronting an all male band, at a glance, may seem typical: but their sound isn't. To classify their genre as "modern rock" is about as close as you can get to putting them in a box... Though to underplay their dynamics with the whim of an easy label is insulting.”
“The eternal, impossible task of a three-piece rock band is to reinvent the wheel, to somehow be both traditional and totally new. What keeps the Jelly Project playing and performing, and what keeps you listening, is a single, compelling idea: you’ve never quite heard a band like this. It’s possible there has never been a Jelly Project.”
