“The absolutely gorgeous melodies that are mixed with the left-of-center musical touches give the band's songs a fantastic
emotional tension that keeps pulling me in.

I really believe the album is a stunner: catchy and moody, with arrangements that are so well thought-out and finely sculpted.” – Mitch Schneider / MSO

“...optimistic and off to a running start.” - Under The Radar

“There's something distinctively fresh about SundayRunners. Ear-teasingly melodious by nature, the disc instinctively captures the imagination. Even with its full-on array of sonic textures, the disc somehow manages to shield itself from sounding overproduced thanks due in part to Randy Diderrich's slightly weathered yet originally vulnerable vocals. By the time you know what hit you, you'll be head over heels in love with SundayRunners and so will everyone else. Expect this CD to remain one of the best releases of 2005.” – Trouble Bunch Music

“SundayRunners artfully mix airy melodies, tasteful harmonies and quirky, optimistic lyrics with hard-rocking choruses and dynamic changes. This album should appeal to a wide range of pop music lovers, from Beatles fanatics to glamazons to Finnheads to those who remember when "indie rock" often enough meant originality.” – Blogcritics.org
