"...Boyjazz cometh, announcing their wiseass yet altogether kick-ass glam rock presence for all to see and hear and file noise complaints about, in tribute to their undeniable loudness. 'Cause you know you've got to turn this kind of Bud-guzzling, silly-strutting, snarly, gnarly cock rock up. Retardo-cool.."

"Rare is the modern hard-rock album that hearkens back to classic sounds without blatantly ripping off classic tunes. Even the best outfits flying the stoner-rock flag seem content to bash out by-the-numbers riffs nicked from Sabbath or the Nuge. Local quartet Dirty Power makes no bones about its influences on its self-titled Dead Teenager Records debut, but the crafty, barbed-wire hooks and inventive guitar interplay showcase a knack for songwriting that's glaringly absent from most retro-rock regurgitation."

"Three-piece, Hijack the Disco reminds me somewhat of The Promise Ring, but a bit more complex. Their music fits into the math rock category. Sometimes quirky, sometimes more catchy or complex, they keep changing things up. The songwriting is at times intricate, but always likable."
