While the lyrics are both touching and emotive, the first impulse I had on listening to this record was simply an urge to get up and dance. This is music I would enjoy at an outdoor summer music festival rather than in the car or on my MP3 player. The grooves are great, the musicianship solid. This is rock’n’roll best served “live.” - Cactus Joe “Lucas Cates is an exciting songwriter with a high-energy approach to breezy acoustic pop. His slightly gravelly baritone gives a lot of weight to the stories on his new disc.” - The Onion "[the]Lucas Cates Band used its 70-minute afternoon set Thursday at the Roadhouse to win over a crowd. [The] jams from the Madison Area Music Award’s artist of the year [won] over the punk fans as more and more fest-goers found their way to the stage." - Erik Ernst (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel '09) “The first single, “4everytime” goes down as easy as Sugar Ray’s “Every Morning”. With gentle, reflective songs and teen-idol good looks, Cates has all the trappings of mass-market appeal”. - Rich Albertoni/The Isthmus "Based in Madison, Lucas Cates is one of Wisconsin's hottest up-and-coming rockers. A prolific songwriter, Cates crafts driving electric and acoustic rock 'n' roll and tours all over the U.S.” - 30 Minute Music Hour (WPTV, April 2009) “If you haven’t had the pleasure, once you see them you’ll understand why they literally swept the MAMAs last May.” Susan Masino/Local Sounds Magazine 9/29/09 also....see our guest book at: www.lucascates.com/guestbook for fan reviews from all around the country!
