“Interesting sound, somewhere between Modest Mouse and Guided By Voices, with hints of Sebadoh. ”

“Their set was loud, noisy, distorted, combining elements of Modest Mouse with the Pixies. It showcased stellar riffs, pop hooks, a lot of different textures from three guitarists and groovy bass lines.”

“The album howls with misery and pain, though there is, retrospectively, an aura of hope that permeates.”

“TCOSS feels like the Second Coming of nineties indie rock. ”

“Melodically Rich”

“An impressive sounding band”

“Theirs is not off-the-cuff, sloppy, booze-soaked rock and roll, but, rather, a more studious approach to heartfelt rock.”

“TCOSS has an incredibly eclectic sound, which explores an array of textures and styles - from the angular indie rock of Pavement to the R&B of Earth Wind and Fire to the country rock of the Sadies - while still maintaining its own identity.”

“Alexi Davis, dressed in a powder blue 70's style suit, was the consummate front-man, promising songs about going crazy and losing your mind.”

“Interesting and noisy group”

“Circuit Crooks explores themes of what it means to be human and the fine line between sanity and insanity.”

“TCOSS take lyrics about all the thoughts that leave you restless at night, and turn it into a high energy rock song.”

“Circuit Crooks stands as a beautiful homage to (Lisa) Hunte.”

“You can imagine these guys spending late nights listening to Surfer Rosa, Slanted and Enchanted, and The Lonesome Crowded West.”

“Lyrically, Circuit Crooks explores dark themes, including political, emotional and - particularly of interest to Davis as a songwriter - mental illness. Fitting then, that the album features clinical, even jarring images of artist Gwynneth Nursall, whose work as a medical illustrator lead to their collaboration.”

“Their textured, detailed and well-constructed indie rock has gained traction, largely on the strength of their songwriting abilities and attention to production values.”

“They join Chad VanGaalen and Tegan & Sara on my best of Calgary list.”

“Sounds like shitty Ween”
