"Old City step things up on this new LP and plow forward destroying space on an exra dimensional axis, the twist and turns of this album are greatly wonderous…"
~Shawn Aboxious, Thwart…!

"Cupp's drums pound your solar plexus and the bass, played by Robyn Roth (who also did the cover artwork) vibrates your whole self. Sammy McKee's guitar tone is so wonderful and so perfectly recorded that you can practically smell the ozone and feel the warmth of the tubes coming out of the back of the amp. If you are of an age and a mindset to appreciate the music of Sonic Youth, Pixies, Sebadoh, Guided by Voices or Mudhoney. You owe it to yourself to give Old City a listen."
~Jim Nolan, WVXU 91.7

"The advance feedback on Old City’s new album has been overwhelmingly positive, with glowing references to Sonic Youth, Neil Young, Dinosaur Jr., Poster Children, Polvo, Built to Spill, Guided By Voices and local favorites Wussy. It’s conceivable that McKee’s tremulous upper-register voice in this context may be more akin to Chuck Cleaver’s work in Ass Ponys."
~Brian Baker, Citybeat

"Their new, self-titled debut album came out in mid-August and I probably shouldn’t mention how many times I’ve listened to it…
Sammy McKee’s vocals at times feel like Neil Young screaming at kids to get off his lawn. It’s brilliant."

~Dierdre Kay, Citybeat

“Sublime pop hooks with anxious rhythms, vintage synth pulsations, and sideways guitar riffs." --CityBeat
