“Vallejo melds a funky hard rock millennium style, with swiveling Latino rhythms and superfuzzy guitars. ”
“Vallejo manages to sift together familiar elements into new-sounding combinations with fair amounts of intelligence and passion.”
“The hooks are heavy, the power ballads are surprisingly sensitive, and the Latin percussion and Santana-inspired workouts are fluid and funky.”
“THICKER THAN WATER boils down to Vallejo’s crowning achievement thus far. Thicker Than Water…and bloody well righteous.”
“The righteous groove, the undeniable hook, the killer soulful vocal supported by smart musicality with flair and dead-on aim, and stories in song that make you want to rock, dance and sing along.”
“THICKER THAN WATER truly personifies the talented trio of brothers who form the heart behind Vallejo and their electrifying smashup of Latin rhythms, alternative rock, funk and soul.”
“One of the louder bands on the Texas Latin rock scene, Vallejo brings two drummers, twin guitars and suggestive polyrhythms to an attack that would crumble the walls of Jericho.”
“THICKER THAN WATER is the most consistent album of the band’s career and knowing just how hard Vallejo can work a good thing, 2008 looks to be a great year for the fresh-faced veterans.”
