“Smart, lovable pop rock”
The C-ville Weekly, Charlottesville, VA - Austin Graham

“I'll step beyond the average review and predict that, with the right situation, The Naked Puritans could be huge and enduring.”
The Renegade Newsletter, East Lansing, MI

“...power trio whose alternative pop stuff hearkens back to underdog superheroes of the 70’s and 80’s like Elvis Costello and XTC. An impressive little avant troupe, really.”
The C-ville Weekly, Charlottesville, VA - Cripsy Duck

“This is true happy, punk-based pop with finesse!”
+
“magical...infectious...lush, sweeping...aggressive...will astound anyone in the room... Perhaps the best thing about this band, is how great you feel after listening to their music.”
Pitch Magazine, D.C. - Laura Ryden

“Whether they know it or not, the Naked Puritans are one of the bands...liberating the face of pop.”
+
“Pop with an intellect.”

“They aren’t Savage Garden or BB Mack….”
The Jagwire, Portland, Oregon – Kourtney Paranteau

“exuberant, bare-it-all, intellipop trio”
The C-ville Weekly, Charlottesville, VA – James Graham

“…evoke modern classic sounds akin to the Jam, the Clash, The Ramones & David Bowie while maintaining a distinct sound.”
+
“a band of mischief-makers…also a group of hard working do-it-yourselfers.”
The Virgin Island Daily News, U.S.V.I. – staff writer

“a rock sound that’s a bit punk, a bit British, a bit reflective, and more than a little witty”
The Daily Progress, Charlottesville, VA – Jane Norris

“…damn! – they kicked ass. The Puritans almost-retro power-punk alt/pop smorgasbord comes across as a friendly but well-delivered boot to the chest. Jammin’.”
The C-ville Weekly, Charlottesville, VA - Cripsy Duck

“Guitar pop! This trio packs most everything that is good about those two words into Red Bull fueled ditties that soar while keeping an eye on the details”
+
“…jangling Brit-pop chords…punky drumming and sleek running bass lines”
The Hook, Charlottesville, VA

“ …classic, poignant …power pop punch.”
The C-ville Weekly, Charlottesville, VA - Cripsy Duck

“Meeting the band after the show, I ruled out pills…”
+
“Anyone can sing about wanting to sex you up but the Puritans want to play you some records, spin you hilarious stories, and tell you they love you while you’re cracking up.”
The C-ville Weekly, Charlottesville, VA – Mike Parisi

“Infectious local pop trio… pretty looks…lyrics that charm.
…mod bass lines and rock solid backbeat”
The C-ville Weekly, Charlottesville, VA

“all ages (from fresh-faced high school girls to middle aged moms to gray-templed gentlemen)…band and audience…doing what they do best, rocking and being rocked. …the band began to pound songs to the mat…Brit-pop jangle…punk backbone. It was a wholesome banquet…”
The Hook, Charlottesville, VA – Mike Parisi

“...an intelligent brand of pop”
The Daily Progress, Charlottesville, VA
