Paper-Thin Walls Feature: "Prizzy Prizzy Please aren’t a dance-punk band so much as a band of hyperactive noise miscreants who can’t quite decide what genre will spark the most fun. The Bloomington, Indiana, boys’ debut album presents a little bit of funk here, some speed metal over there, a touch of ’80s power-pop on the other side… and smashes it all together with a nonsensical dada wallop." - Kristal Hawkins

Hybrid Magazine: "Prizzy Prizzy Please have a manic speed, even quicker wit, and busy music ideal for dancing, skating and pouring concrete; it's as satisfying as eating a sandwich while having sex, George Kostanza-style." - Ewan Wadharmi

Exclaim!, Canada's Music Authority: "Combining the mature art-punk of modern greats like Parts & Labor or Lightning Bolt with the goofy lyrics and sloppy production of your local basement punk band, Bloomington, IN’s Prizzy Prizzy Please have loaded their self-titled debut with anthems. Adding a saxophone to the standard bass, guitar, drums line-up, the songs build on a noisy foundation before the band add their hectic vocals. Opener “Shorgasm” develops into a chaotic post-punk classic with some rumbling Motörhead guitars, while “Too Many T-Shirts” adds harmonised gang vocals to its blast of sound. But it’s “Thundergust of Woodpeckers” that represents the record best, with its tapped guitar lead that climaxes with an arena-rock finale. Enthusiastically creative and unpretentious, Prizzy Prizzy Please could be your favourite new band whether you’re 13 or 30." - Josiah Hughes

Punknews.org review: "In a college music scene dominated by introverted singer-songwriters and high-handed hipster rock, PPP is a ray of light." -Nick Selm

The Scene: "More than any band in Bloomington, Prizzy Prizzy Please have made a name for themselves on the strength of their live show whose energy levels often border on the absurd. The appeal of Prizzy Prizzy Please is their ability to bring together elements of pop, punk, prog-rock, fusion and any other musical whimsy that suits them, often on the same song. Their self-titled release is a welcome effort at capturing the spastic joy of their live show in nine easily digestible servings." -Dan Coleman

Slug Magazine: "Well, when listening to Prizzy Prizzy Please for the first time, the primary image in my head was Fozzie the Bear licking the wallpaper in Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. Why? Hard to say. It just seems like a sport-on soundtrack for such an event. For the most part, the initial sampling just made me hyper and hungry for pixie sticks. However, the first impression of a screamer pop metal band proved superficial when a grab bag of quirks surfaced with each new listen." - Jessie Price
