“Re: I PRETEND THEY'RE ALL YOU "I had a blast mixing this track...it has all the hallmarks of a tight production: killer tones, great groove, and a vocal performance that draws you right in...good job, fellas!"”

— Jason Jaknunas, Metropolitan Studios

“A wicked, wicked band that definitely has that blues feel, a cross-over band. They definitely understand how every radio station in this town works. A very active bands that’s friends with everyone. ”

— Doug Ralph, Do You Hear What I Hear, CHUO FM

“The Power Goats (1:30 p.m., Subway) get my Best Band Name of the Festival award.”

— Cormac Rae, Ottawa X-press

"Mixing a new slammin' Powergoats track...these guys are the real deal..lovin' the vibe" Award-Winning Producer Jason Jaknunas, Metropolitan Studios

— Jason Jaknunas, Metropolitan Studios

"This isn’t about Emily Haines. This is, instead, a song FOR Emily Haines by fellow Canadians The Powergoats. Lead singer Jamie Douglas is pouring on the sex with a capital S-E-X in his vocals, because he’s “just a man/and you’re impossibly beautiful” and the slow, almost Santana-esque guitar flares up in-between the verses." "There are some breathy Emily Haines-esque female backing vocals on the track, so if you close your eyes and wish real hard, you can almost pretend it’s the real Emily. This isn’t the kind of song you can really rock out to. It’s slow and sensual, and honestly? You could probably slow dance to it. Just close your eyes and pretend it’s with Emily Haines."

— Allison Levin, Jezebel Music - Art of Song (New York)
