“I don’t dare if they are aliens preparing us subconsciously for enslavement. They’re too good, too catchy, and too unapologetic about the world they create in their music. While they play, you live there with them.” – Aaron Colter of Banana Stand Media
“Best voice in Portland!” – John Barrios, founder of Love Harder Record Label
“Wacky bands singing folky sea chanties about robot doppelgängers are sort of odd, but they’re bunches more fun than the stodgy folk traditionalists who take their genre too seriously. Dr. Something & the Poppin’ Fresh Love Engines are playing to have fun.” – Jim Sandberg, Willamette Week
