The Passive Aggressives / Press

“The Passive Aggressives' compositions are made up of all the dark iconography of hard-boiled pulp novels. But while the subject matter may summon the works of Jim Thompson, the songs themselves are unpredictable musical excursions that venture from metal to jazz to classic American hard rock.”

“this album delves deep into a deliciously funky get-down diggin' hard-rock groove that rarely lets up.”

“Think that there aren't enough women in rock who actually rock? Perhaps you need to take a listen to Keren Gaiser and the band The Passive Aggressives. It is indeed one of the best indie alternative rock bands I have heard in my three years of reviewing indie music. ”

“The first LP from Oakland’s premiere indie alt-rockers is a showcase for Keren Gaiser and her formidable pipes”

“Take an alt-rock power trio with a heavy Les Claypool influence, add in a vocalist who’s like a cross between Alanis and Amy Lee, and you’ve got a powerhouse sound.”

“This is a group that pushes the envelope, slaying rock and roll conventions with the unbridled enthusiasm of Frank Zappa and Primus. They deliver this oddball melange of hard rock, pop, funk, and prog with the sugar-sweet vocals of Keren Gaiser.”

“It's hard to think of anyone on the modern music scene who compares with the Passive Aggressives.”

Greg M Schwartz - Bullzeye Magazine

“Altogether the musicianship is fabulous, and the production is clever, up front, and crystal clear. This is a highly promising young band.”

Jon Sobel - BC Magazine

“I would keep and eye out for future releases from this band. The Passive Aggressives give the feeling that something big and angry is about to erupt.”

Radio KRUD

“The group isnt putting up a facade, this is the real deal and I love it.”

J-Sin - Smother Magazine

“I found myself very much enjoying the originality and authenticity of this very catchy band. You won't be disappointed.”

Josh Joesten - Zero Magazine

“Keren and the boys have got it going on and then some.”
