“What comes forth from this newly discovered veteran band is a blissful and sometimes frightening potion of adventurous instrumentation, startlingly literate sentiments, and richly woven artisanship. Homeless J is hovering somewhere this side of the alt-doldrums purgatory...”

“Musically, his unit is a charismatic see-saw that is at once as adventurous as prime Jane’s Addiction, as entrenched in value as early U2 and nearly as thunderous as Led Zeppelin. His poetically imaginative lyrics resemble the greats...”

“Indie space rockers homeless J got up and brought it down...Their frontman was a robotic, sunglassed svengali, a legit with a soaring voice...My faith in…indie rock bands, which was laying in a corner gasping for air, was just given an oxygen mask called homeless J.”

“With major label eyes focusing on Ft. Wayne's homeless J, they are definitely sitting in the slingshot waiting to go. The use of guitar distortion and the consistent embrace of heavy reverb on the vocals of Chad Van Meter felt like an experiment in rock....”

“I’m always amazed to see a band doing only originals packing this place on a weekend. They really do have a great following (we love having them). They continue to impress with every show. I’ve seen some amazing moments with this band.”

“The fellows in homeless J. seem to paint sonic landscapes with their music…Their music doesn't reach out to you as much as invite you (almost flirtatiously at times) to embrace it, to join in the mood, almost like a secret club.”

“I can honestly say that I have never seen a band generate such a buzz as homeless J. I started hearing great things about this band no less than one day after their debut live show, and have yet to find even one person to walk away from a homeless J performance disappointed.”
