perfect mix...get wise to him." - Dallas Morning News

melodies...a Dallas artist in the truest sense." - Dallas
Morning News
"...a cross between Ryan Adams and Elliot Smith...great songwriter and
amazing sound." - Radio Cure (musicyouneed.blogspot.com)
"A ragged, sloppy pop charmer from Texas...like its came from a session
in the Westerberg basement [where] Ryan Adams and Tommy Keene showed up
and everyone got laughing drunk." - Americana-UK
(www.americana-uk.com)
"...Ten beautiful and catchy songs that breath out authenticity,
freshness, and emotion...without a doubt one of the greatest albums of
this year." - Sensaciones Sonoras (Spain)

"Stunning...it's not too often you hear a 10-track album and fall for
each track on first listen. An assured a debut as I've heard." -

"Travis Hopper's signature country-indie rock blend...showcase[s] his
style of songwriting that includes influences ranging from Sufjan
Stevens to Bruce Springsteen." - Bryan-College Station Eagle
"His songs revel in their inherent hooks...[they] offer the same kind of
"lovable loser" narratives that make similar fare from Paul Westerberg
and Ryan Adams so endearing..." - Dallas Observer
"Solid indie rock...excellent debut album." Kontrastradio
Germany (www.kontrastradio.net)
"...reminiscent of some of the golden goodies that were once spun on
70's AM radio...It's too real, too Texas, and too poppy for the market
as it stands. Their loss is our gain." - Scissor Socket Shocker
Zine
"An accomplished songsmith...a tightly played, engaging set of high
quality roots pop... conjures memories of early Freedy Johnston and
perhaps Josh Rouse. A very promising start from another fresh talent,
well worth keeping an eye on." - Leicester Bangs
