"Alert
the hipster police:
a Brooklyn band that's
more earnest than
ironic! One great
album"
-Blender
"After
taking the last great
band name up for grabs,
the Brooklyn, NY,
quartet set about
making great low-fuss,
guitar-driven, melodic
rock. Makes the countless
emo pretenders look
as poseurlike as a
trucker hat"
-FHM
"An
antithesis to the
fashion conscious
droves of 'punks'
emerging from their
NY lofts claiming
ghetto credentials"
-Kerrang!
"Part
punk, part post, and
all rock. Captures
NYC like no other
primped and propped
up outfit of Gotham
poseurs can."
-Mojo
"Foogazi?
If the Strokes are
rock's prep-school
slackers, PTG are
the brainy bullies
who pound on them.
Rock returns...no
bullshit included"
-Details
"Like
revisting The Replacements
in their most raunch
era where the verses
didn’t come quite
so tautly"
-In
Music We Trust

vocals are strong,

album matters so much
more than almost everything
else out there. Ferociously
beautiful."
-Revolver
"Pilot
to Gunner has a firm
grasp and knowledge
of timing, structure,
dynamics and...hell,
just give them their
props for being able
to produce one captivating

to end."
-Ghettoblaster
"A
prime slice of DC-inspired
rock. A melodic and
edgy offering from
a band you don't want
to miss."

"A
solid work of exceptional
proportions. A wholly
original album full
of energy, melody
and rock attitude."
-Impact

undeniably flawless
release. PTG is actively
charting the future
of guitar-based affrontery."
-Splendid
"Leaps
off the burner with
a tight-wound ferocity
this rips."
-The
Big Takeover
"There's
intricate guitar interplay,
tense chords, and
drumming that's tasteful
to the utmost. So
there. You're allowed
to like it now. But
chances are that,
after several listens,
you'll probably like
it whether you want
to or not."
-Pitchfork
"I
heard the last two
songs of the PTG set,
two songs that were
better than most of
the sets I’ve seen
in town this year.
It was pretty obvious
that they’d been on
the road for a couple
weeks, as they were
tight as a steel trap."
-NY
Hangover
"A
genuine pleasure to
chance upon an album
such as this. 4/5"

Kerrang!
"Screeching
guitars and urgent
vocals...evokes post
punk like Wire and
XTC, plus 80's hardcore
such as Fugazi. passionate
stuff"
