“So, just how Philly are these boys? They were graduates of the original Paul Green School of Rock class back in the beginning of the new Millennium. The kids grew up but stuck together, continuing to jam on new material. The result is a band that mixes little bits of many influences — among them R&B, funk and Big Rock — to come to a sound that’s pretty much all their own”

— Philly in Focus

“Considering how young these guys are-and from the looks of the photo gracing the inside of this debut CD all are still under 30-they are wise beyond their years. I say that because the Parachuting Apostles have got the basics down pat: choose a catchy name, keep your songs brief and lively, and don't be afraid to rock out. Comprised of alumni from the Paul Green School of Rock, this quintet turns up the heat immediately with opening number "Limb from Limb," which features crunching guitars and vocals that are unafraid to go for it. Throughout the record, the rhythm section is tight. (Bassist Jake Dean is a familiar face from World Café Live and drummer Branden King has logged significant playing time with Philly skate punk stalwart, Chuck Treece.) The third number, "Let's Do It (Right This Time)," showcases the band's funky side. An especially nice touch here is the interplay between Domenic Malandro's sax and the drumming. But when you want to rock, it's about guitars, guitars, guita”

“High energy and high musicianship is the name of the game for this group. The Apostles mix RHCP style heavy funk and modern indie rock to create a very original sound. They tear through their set, never missing a beat. This is a band you just have to see live! ”

— TC, That Mag

“Killer octopi vs. modern rock: Parachuting Apostles make an impressive landing Hey OnlineRockheads, We've got a treat for you. And we know you love treats. Especially if you dig superheroes, giant octopi, and classic rock musicianship in a modern form, you're going to love this new video by a Philly-based rock band called Parachuting Apostles. First of all, what a great name. Second of all, they have a very mature sound and their classic rock influence shows through in their own way in this original single called “Let's Do It (Right This Time)." Third of all, the video hass been nominated for the best music video by Origivation Magazine and it's sure to satisfy the inner comic book rock nerd inside every one of us. ”

“Philadelphia’s Parachuting Apostles diligently till the Hard Rock/90′s musical pastures; pastures which for the most part would otherwise lie fallow. Their sound is something one might call “genre rock,” but the band maintains a self-awareness that defies the boundaries of genre.”

— Cameron Sima, Philly Broadcaster.com

"let's do it (right this time).." Very sweet track. I love the guitar solo and vocals alot. I also got the chance to see this band live and I highly suggest you check them out.

" The only bad thing about the album is it's over too soon. If you like rock this album is a must buy. "
