Hey!!! we've got dueling guitars going on!!! It's like the 70 's. Here I've got STYLOFONE and 'Nighttime' and its the most incredible thing i've heard since a car alarm went off at 4 in the morning last night. Its like the Darkness at their worst, Spinal Tap at their very best. If this was tongue in cheek it would be a fabulous pastiche of clichéd rock and roll but i don't think it is. They look like a good bunch of lads on their sleeve but Jesus.... someone's leading someone astray. I suspect the guitarist as he's leading the crimes....but the singer isn't helping with his melodramatic pouting... hey where is everyone???.. everyone's walked out... guys guys GUYSS!!!! don't leave me with this!!!!! Very beautiful! CDs only, 7" to follow! (Thin Lizzy crossed with Ratatat says Brian x)Music For Robots - "What a great fucking band." [music.for-robots.com, January, 2007]
SPIN.com - "Stylofone's Brooklyn bounce kept things moving...got the girls dancing." [Review of 1/4/07 show at The Khyber in Philadelphia with Diamond Nights]
Pitchfork - "Stylofone equate letting the good times roll with tweaking the beat and harmonizing every lead... Reproduction is creation. Just ask mom." [Sam Ubl's 4 out of 5 star track review for "Helen Keller", September, 2006]
The Village Voice - "Stylofone have one dynamite gimmick: doubled guitar leads on every hook, executed with joyous arena-rock everything-old-is-new. Go see them." [Robert Christgau's "Month on The Town" feature August, 2006]
The Fader - "It's rare to find the track that immediately struts in with such salacious verve that you might just take it to the beach instead. 'Hotstepper' is the summer anthem for too many beers and hot weather sweats... " [Alex Wagner's "Gen F" feature: "The Boys of Summer", issue #39, June 2006 ]
Pitchfork - "Stylofone succeed because they're gentle and dangerous at the same time, a tricky fusion...4 out of 5 stars." [Sam Ubl's 4 out of 5 star track review for "Hotstepper", June, 2006]
Nick Sylvester - "Really jarring to see a band where all four guys have chops; maybe I need to like better bands." [riffmarket.com, July 2006]
The Big Takeover - "Stylish, brave, brassy and keeps you on your toes." [Suzanne Baran, May, 2006]
Future Sounds - "This is music for summer nights, hot rod cars, and the backseat you know, some good ol' American rock n' roll for a change....it won't take long for everyone to be onto this awesome Brooklyn band." [futuresounds.blogspot.com/, May 2006]
Time Out NY - "A solid adrenaline rush for you closeted arena-rock loyalists."
...according to Gabby Greenleaf.
This is the best music I've bought in years. Anybody who doesn't like it is stupid and doesn't get it.
