Here is what the Alternative Music Press is saying about this CD which was released only a few months ago!
"A+. A startling discovery, for sure. Griddle manages to coalesce elements of melodic rock 'n' roll, garage punk and traditional prog into one giddy rush, evoking in turns the Ramones, the Flaming Lips, the Minutemen and yes, even Van Der Graff Generator. Make sure you don't pass up the opportunity to witness modern pop-rock evolution in action." - Kevin Mathews -PowerOfPop.com (Griddle’s debut was named one of the Top 30 Albums of 2003)
"They effortlessly meld pop and prog together like it was nobody's business. There was even a hint of glamrock in there... I made myself giggle while watching them when I started imagining their music as the soundtrack to 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch pt. 2: The German Impressionist Years.'" - Jake Thomas, PlayingInFog.com
"This is one take on what a new fresh sound of pop could sound like. The band bounces all over the place, pumping out some unusual rhythms and stop/starts, while keeping things firmly grounded on Planet Earth and the importance of memorable melodies." - Bruce Brodeen, NotLame.com
