"the Sleep-ins are a lovely tonic. Loud, raucous, seductive and often a complete mess. Glorious."
-Jon Worley, Aiding & Abetting

"these guys may have traveled halfway around the world (to say nothing of the universe?), but they're in the right place at the right time now."
-Stephen Haag, PopMatters

"improves with every listen as you revel in the walls of deafening sound and the almost silent crevices which appear from time to time in this mighty edifice of rock."
-Jonathan Aird, Americana-UK

"the Sleep-ins deliver songs that are filled with homage to the Seattle grunge scene but with such brandished chemistry, it all sounds seamlessly easy."
-Bryan Sanchez, Delusions Of Adequacy

"music that sails past the edge of prim pop without wandering into the forests of heavy metal or the urban jungle of modern rock ... the Sleep-Ins create a sonic impression"
-Wildy Haskell, Wildy's World Music Reviews

"The Sleep-Ins are a throwback to very early-90s altrock, throwing around walls of guitar fuzz like the adopted children of the Inspiral Carpets... Great, earworming stuff." --Jimmy James (aka Capitalist Lion Tamer), Fancy Plans... and Pants to Match

"It's time to wake up to the joys of the Sleep-ins"
-The Devil Has The Best Tuna

"The Sleep-Ins are the perfect example of a band who knows how to intrigue its audience without going off the deep end. This Australian indie rock group is in the midst of finding their own sound and are definitely worthy of being kept on your radar. 8 out of 10 stars!"
-Christine V, Take It or Leave It Blogger and WCUR DJ

"The album title is a reasonable description of the themes of this album, but it doesn't begin to explain the musical density of the songs."
-Jon Worley, Aiding & Abetting

"their sound is as broad and expansive as the view-from-the-tourvan-windshield pictures captured in the album's liner notes."
-Stephen Haag, PopMatters

"you surely have a college radio classic in "Silver State". You could dance to this at the Indy Disco. Probably. You could certainly bounce around in a pretty aggressive way to "Angelina" , and I fully believe that "Chrome Skull Cap & Matching Codpiece" will have you strutting and sneering as your (late period) Alice Cooper emerges from the recessed shadows of your personality."
-Jonathan Aird, Americana-UK

"Songs About Girls & Outer Space is an absolute fuzz-fest, running the gamut from the garage electrics of the 1970's to the grunge sound of Nirvana with side trips into psychedelia and shoegaze rock along the path."
-Wildy Haskell, Wildy's World Music Reviews

"Unlike almost anything that I've heard recently. The Sleep-ins seem to believe in punishing the listener, and I'm down with the program. On my knees, actually. Submission comes naturally when listening to songs like this."
-Jon Worley, Aiding & Abetting

"This album sounds fantastic!"
-Alex Tocaben, Co-owner, WNYZ

"the blend is spot on and although it could have been made any time in the last thirty years it's none the worse for that."
-Jonathan Aird, Americana-UK

"The best teachers I've had weren't just drummers, but the musicians that I've had the chance to play with through the years. One guy who sticks out is [Sleep-ins' guitarist] Chad Corley" -Heath Metzger, drummer for Mock Orange

"a sonic tribute to Nirvana and the Seattle sound they inspired, full of anger, vitriol and grunge guitar sound."
-Wildy Haskell, Wildy's World Music Reviews

"This isn't just another pixies band! The sound is unique and very enjoyable." Dan Herman, Radio Crystal Blue

"Imagine Ween and Weezer meeting over drinks."
-Wildy Haskell, Wildy's World Music Reviews
