From TheChickenFishSpeaks.Com (I...Know...) comes this fancy blurb:

The first thing I noticed when listening to this release was the vocals. Two singers came to mind: Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips and Robert Smith of The Cure. The vocalist has a warped quality to his singing that works well with the bit spacey alternative rock sound of the band. This is most evident on the terrific song "Technicalelectronicsupersonicrobot (T.E.S.S.)". The music and subject matter (being in love with a robot) are Flaming Lips all the way, but the aching passion as the vocalist sings "Why don't you love me anymore" is pure Robert Smith. Yet another great release that will go into my permanent collection.

Very nice Mite Mutant - thank you for the kind words.

Here is a little gem from WFAA.COM and The Dallas Morning News, courtesy of Mike Daniel:

Like any self-serving indie act, the Frontier Brothers are trying to fill a niche. Which one they're targeting is about as clear as Major Tom's path back to Earth after ground control lost contact with him (according to David Bowie, anyway). Formed in Fort Worth but now based in Austin, the trio scored recent appearances on MTV and in Spin for wearing skin-hugging silver, red and greenish-gold spandex body suits at South by Southwest in March. Giggly claims that the band's from outer space notwithstanding, its sound is a maudlin mishmash of British glam pop, chicken-fried piano melodies and punky sideshow brass that brings to mind what a child raised by Brian Wilson, Liza Minnelli and Syd Barrett might conjure up. Is it edgy? About as much as a plastic dinner knife. Is it entertaining? Greatly; so much so that the BBC and USA Today have noticed, and Fort Worth Weekly has nominated it as best new artist even though the act isn't around there much anymore. Now that's far out.

A little complementary, a little not so much. Edgy as a plastic dinner knife? I don't think you listened to the album, Mike. We'll talk afterword.
