“This is the band that The Black Keys are too afraid to become. Only Living Boy’s kind of high octane blues-rock is so filthy that I feel like I need to take a shower after listening to them.”
-NINE BULLETS
“This is riff-driven, no-nonsense rock and roll. Stark, economic music that reaches out and grabs you by the throat.”
-THE AQUARIAN WEEKLY
“Only Living Boy might be named after a Paul Simon song, but this band will not be politely strumming their guitars about the sounds of silence — they will be breaking a bottle of whiskey over your head and melting your face off with pure rock fury.”
—POP BREAK
“…Only Living Boy bring back that sound bred in the 90s when some grunge artists rediscovered the power of blues… bluesy guitar riffs, heavy driving bass lines and raw vocals.”
—THE DELI
“In a time where skinny jeans and hipsters rule, Only Living Boy is a breath of fresh air that gives life to a scene that seems stagnate and boring.”
—CLASSICK MATERIAL
“…power trio brotherhood and Hendrix style delivery… a glimmer of salvation to a musical culture moving farther away from the powerfully simplistic soul of the blues.”
—THE WASTER
“Have I fallen into early heavy blues heaven or is it merely a self-induced delusion? No, really, is this a new band or did someone find a bunch of hidden obscure heavy rock from the Masters and just now release them under a fake pseudonym?”
—THE RIPPLE EFFECT
“…a band that is full of the right combination of machismo in a music scene that is desperate for variety.”
—FAKE PLASTIC TUNES
“…ragged vocals moan and groan with fierce’n’throaty aplomb while the hard-diggin’ guitars, churning basslines, and sturdy pushin’ drums concoct a raw gritty sound that’s both moody and earthy in equal measure… a complete scrappy joy to hear.”
—JERSEY BEAT
“Instead of the usual twenty-first century mindless meandering, these guys write and record smart, hummable, memorable songs that make a real impression and stay in your head.”
—BABY SUE
“…hard working regionally successful act who, as predicted by my crystal ball, is in for some much deserved national attention.”
—THE VINYL DISTRICT
“…blues on the nastier side… aggressive and in your face, like a locomotive steered by Eric Clapton on a collision course with The Raconteurs.”
—EXPRESS TIMES
“…flannel alt-rock vibe with a classic blues-rock sensibility… earnest and soulful stuff.”
—COURIER NEWS / HOME NEWS TRIBUNE
“…a unique blend of hard rock and blues with a touch of grunge. [Only Living Boy's] style, lyrics, and obvious love of playing music and performing, are unmatched.”
—EASTON IRREGULAR
“…one of the hardest working bands on the East Coast… hard rock with a foundation in blues and grunge.”
—NJ.COM
“…ear-grabbing guitar riffs and infinite energy… I can’t remember the last time I’ve been at a show when a band’s improvisation was so captivating.”
—YOU SING, I WRITE
“…a combination of the psych rock inherited from their parents’ vinyl and the alternative rock of their own MTV adolescence.”
—WNTI
“…unique song structures, powerful transitions, and brilliant musicianship throughout…”
