Press

““Throwback Suburbia have captured a blend of muscular pop and intelligent songwriting that will make you happy no matter if you think pop music died when Brian stopped touring with the Beach Boys, or when Cheap Trick left the Budokan.” ”

— All Access Magazine

““It's OK Go sans the gimmicky treadmills, Spoon with an extra dose of distortion - real rock done the way it should be.” ”

— Las Vegas City Life Magazine

““An explosion of prodigious power pop marked by commanding performances and arrangements that stick to the intelligent side of the brain while keeping the pleasure side entirely entertained.” ”

— Performer Magazine

““Big power pop compositions with melodies and impeccable harmonies, all sonically excellent coming from seasoned veterans with an attitude definitively rock-n-roll.” ”

— Rock & Folk Magazine (French Magazine)

““The originality and energy that Throwback Suburbia brings to everything they do is just amazing.” ”

— Guitar Player Magazine

“Throwback Suburbia’s self-titled disc is a most excellent slice of power pop that at various times recalls pop music stalwarts such as Jellyfish and Rubinoos (among others) and comes off as sounding not unlike a divine cross between Sun Sawed in Half and Rooney. Now that I’m almost done with the obscure comparisons, let me try to explain why this album is simply marvelous: the 13 cuts feature sweet, impassioned lead vocals (courtesy of Jimi Evans, who sounds a little like Kyle Vincent on steroids), glistening harmonies, sticky choruses, impeccably layered and textured production, an instrumental attack that’s alternately hard-edged and lilting…need I say more? Trust me on this one: if you’re a fan of power pop, you need to hear Throwback Suburbia.”

— John M.Borack, Goldmine Magazine
