"This is what Susanna Hoffs would have sounded like backed by The Who. Its high-octane pop with a tough but gorgeous lead singer / songwriter by the name of Lisa Mychols." - Brad Harvey, "The Big Takeover"

"Presently the qualified toast of Southern California, this outfit's x-factor is composer, guitarist and vocalist Lisa Mychols. MASTICATE!, however, howls its stylistic determination from the rooftops. If you go for clangorous guitars and walloping drums framing a recapturing and updating of the glorious teenage narcissism of the British invasion, then you'll need to hear The Masticators in their basic state." - Alan Clayson, "Record Buyer," U.K.

"It's classic pop. There is exhilaration in the performance and an abundance of original ideas-musical, lyrical and melodic-which makes this album stand out. The listener is rewarded by the little discoveries that pop up here and there. What I really love about this album is the feeling that this band had a lot of fun making it. It's infectious." - Jimm, "Go Pop!"

"There's something about The Masticators that takes you back to the underground punk of the 80s; that sassy blend of pop rock with *f* you attitude. A woman in front chewing out the words helps of course." - Ben Ohmart, "MusicDish"

"The L.A. fab four's sound reminds me mostly of the Go-Go's (is there a higher compliment?), but is even more pop-savvy, rooted in '60's groovinessfrom the Chiffons through the Who, with a touch of the early Beatles." - Sam Hurwitt, "East Bay Express"

"If you heard your neighbors playing this in the middle of the night, you angrily get out of bed, throw something on, pound on their door and demand that they turn it up." - Tony Peyser, "Santa Monica Mirror"

"What a blast of fresh air! Big smiles and happy dancing feet! I now lost count of the number of times that I've had to get up to dance around whilst reviewing this CD." - Robin Wills, "Bucketfull Of Brains"

"The debut release from this uber-talented L.A. foursome is one of the feel-good, breath-of-fresh-air, pop-rock in highlights of the new millennium. Truth be known, it's one of the freshest guitar-based pop' n' roll records in recent memory." - John M. Borack, "Goldmine"

"Fronted by the artfully animated pipes of Lisa Mychols, The Masticators don't rely on stupid gimmicks to get their message across. What's even more impressive is that they really don't sound like any other band I can think of off hand, which is indeed quite a feat in this day and age of recycled rock and roll tricks." - Beverly Paterson, "Twist And Shake" Magazine

"No doubt about it, The Masticators are a lethal pop combination: Lisa Mychols' irresistible chops plus one of the hottest bands this side of the pop underground." - Kevin Mathews, "Power Of Pop"

"How often can you hear a band where comparisons to Blondie and Buddy Holly are appropriate? Stellar frontwoman Lisa Mychols leads her all-star band through a new wavey, old fashioned rock and roll album that is classic in both its conception and execution." - Mike Bennett, "Fufkin.com"
