“hey were able to go from barely-above-mid-tempo to full on hardcore sonic assault at breakneck speed with no problems whatsoever. They were one of the types of bands that bring a smile to your face. Not just for the song-writing but for the performances. Occasionally jolting into sporadic moments of franticness, they had plenty of energy and the heart to match it. Purplish-red and blue lights fell on them. The high hat danced, followed closely by caustic outbursts from the guitars.”

— Daniel Gardner, Shutter 16

"the Radio Reds have managed an impressive balancing act for such a young band. Smart and self-aware with an aggressive and muscular sound, the band is crafting college-radio-friendly songs, which address currrent frustrations of self-imposed technological exiles-"-Thrust Magazine (Dec 2011)

— A. Rivera, Thrust Magazine

"- four tracks that give that warm familiar feeling, like a punk rock version of the tv show “The Wonder Years” to anyone who was a teen in the early 90′s and who still plays ‘Sixteen Blue’ and ‘I Will Dare’ as much as they did when they were finding their musical feet. By the time Kent is singing “”I apologize,..there’s nothing I can do” on closing track “Wallpaper” it’s too late, you just want to hear the noise of the one take drums and too loud guitars all over again."

— Lewie Peckham, For the Love of Punk: Punk News and More

"There’s a distracted sense of urgency in singer and primary songwriter Stephen Kent’s voice that persists in all of the band’s music, but here we finally see other members of the Radio Reds assert a presence in their music. New bassist Michael Kent lends a brawny counterpoint to Patrick Boyd’s rippling guitar on “Howl” and “Sole Weakness.”

— Ryan Snyder, Yes Weekly!

"Anthemic '90s indie punk worship - think Superchunk, Jawbreaker, and the like. Well-written songs with sweet and earnest vocals that completes the vision. The recording is a little dirty, and it suits the music well...a little crunch is a good thing"

— Maximum Rock N Roll Magazine

"The Radio Reds show endless amounts of promise- -Thoughtful and as sinewy as a great featherweight fighter, this is where the real action is. You might have shown up to see the prizefight, but this is the one you’ll remember and talk about for years to come"

— Alberto Rivera, New Music Monkey

"-drawing influence from the likes of the Replacements, the Hold Steady and R.E.M". -"Wallpaper” certainly stands out as a powerful original. A jangly, fast-driven response to the recession of the new wave sound of the 21st century. Kent’s vocals, coupled with the support of his brother Michael, are reminiscent of Bloc Party, minus the British accents."

— PatSpitzHotFire, Hot Hot Music

"this band has some radio-friendly tunes and a strong melodic vocalist. Quite different from the rest of the bands, these guys move the standards on the scope of this show toward the mainstream."

— Amanda Caines, Shutter16
