“Plying 1960s Nuggets that belie their age, the Strange Boys quickly inserted themselves in Austin’s garage rock and pop revival…” / “slurred, slacker vocals texturing their classic riffs and rhythms”

“Strange Boys vocalist Ryan Sambol looks and sounds like a little boy. The slurred squeak of his voice bleats unique and quite frankly endearing, and its seeming innocence, along with the local quartet’s youthful looks and thin, noisy sound, invites comparison to another young garage rock band, Black Lips. The Strange Boys don’t possess the Lips’ anarchic punk energy, substituting instead an unconcerned ennui that seems rooted in lazy front-porch blues.” – Austin Chronicle

“The Strange Boys supply the perfect slacker-soul grooves for long nights of awkward shuffling, excessive drinking and desperate sidelong glances at the object of one’s affection.” – Austinist.com

“Their New Album is Quite Possibly The Best Album To Come Out Of Texas in the past decade.
It also may be The Best Album To Come out in 2009. These Guys Have an amazing vision. And Whats Impressive is that they have such command over their sound and they’re still so young. The Lyrics are an amazing breed between Lou Reed and Bob Dylan. The Strange Boys Are Where It’s At. Period” – comment on rollingstone.coms’ “New Favorite Band” (possibly too many Caps?)
