"Each song is an adventure, the tempo and mood can careen around the stage like some manic child full of sugar that will run up and kick you in the shin, do a lap around the room and then come back and give you a hug. A Poprocket song doesn't conclude, it crashes or implodes and when the feedback dies it's just three guys looking a bit sheepish as if to say, that was pretty intense but hey, it's just us." - Ed McDonald, Music Comit Magazine "...Featured is Charlotte, NC trio Poprocket, a jangle-pop outfit a bit like the Smithereens with a touch of the buckleys in the vocals and the Beatles in the backbeat." - Nicoll/Ware, Creative Loafing, Atlanta. "Poprocket - Adventurous pop music in the mold of the Pixies, the Smithereens, with a little Sonic Youth-style dissonance thrown in for good measure. Jay "J" Garrigan's songs are primarily composed of delightfully skewed looks at relationships and life." Tim Davis, Creative Loafing "We were struck by the thoughtful yet entertaining lyrics of one of the most energetic pop bands to come through our fair city in months." - Tomi Siegal, Hipcity.net, Atlanta "The most fantastic part of this trio would have to be the lyrics (well, almost - J's wonderful facial expressions). The lyrics aren't just catchy, but vary from deeply moving to downright irresistible. I envision Popprocket to be one of the most promising bands to come out of Charlotte these days." Kathy Everhart, Bittersweet Magazine. "J. Garrigan and the boys are touring like mad at this point, which may be just what the doctor ordered: Garrigan's songwriting may be rooted in the green pastures of classic pop, but it's surrounded by barbed-wire hooks that make the band's smoother-than-ever musical delivery even more noticeable in contrast. A band that takes itself seriously by not taking itself too seriously, if that makes any sense. With the Daybreakers, Thursday, Fat City, and with Crooked Fingers, Saturday, Tremont Music Hall.
