Jealous Creatures

“With their ‘Western Haze‘ brand of rock, Jealous Creatures music plays like the soundtrack to a Thelma & Louise drive through the desert. Marrying a wide range of influences – from The Pixies to Soundgarden, Bonnie Raitt to Queens of the Stone Age – the band are determined to show the world what Houston, TX has to offer. With vocals mirroring Aimee Mann and an alt-90s approach to distortion, the band could easily have been part of the original soundtrack for ‘Singles.‘ Hot off playing two showcases at SXSW and gearing up to record a brand new LP this summer, JC is ready to show you what Space City Rock is all about.” - Indie Mag

“After about two and a half listens, the Creatures‘ new album Bazooka is one of the strongest local releases I‘ve heard in many, many many months. It‘s got hooks and heart, and it kinda rocks. You‘ll be hearing a lot more about them, I feel almost certain, but go see them Saturday before it gets a whole lot more crowded.” - Houston Press

“With “Bazooka,“ Jealous Creatures may have created their own specialized musical genre. This genre could and should be called Sedimentary Rock. It’s characterized by intricately crafted, multi-layered songs with dual meanings and emotions formed over time by just the right experiences, influences and ingredients gathered from all the right places, eras and genres into an interconnected whole. You could scrutinize each of these layers in detail to get a better look at the baggage they brought to the band or you could avoid the blow to the head and just grab a copy of “Bazooka.“ It will give you an ample glimpse of all you really need to know about Jealous Creatures for now.” - Examiner.com

“I caught a strong whiff of the Pretenders while watching Jealous Creatures, but that could just be because they happen to have a female lead singer. Really, I think it's because of the tough, tuneful songs that really go somewhere, and know exactly where that is. They passed the test I give every band I see for the first time at the HPMA showcase with flying colors: Jealous Creatures made me want to go see them again immediately.” - Houston Press Rocks Off

“I remember when Babyface reviewed Jealous Creatures last time he said how impressed he was, and based on what I’ve just heard of things I’m inclined to agree with him. This is an album which moves through different moods as it progresses, roving from in your face and powerful at one moment through to laid back and soothing at another, there’s twists, turns and surprises around every corner, surely presenting us with an album that is going to be returned to time and time again.” - Loud-Stuff.Com

“Here’s how the whole band-life-trajectory thing is supposed to work: start a band just for the hell of it, at first; then realize hey, maybe this is a pretty cool deal, and begin earnestly working at it; work your way onwards and upwards, honing your skills as you go; decide to break up or soldier on; rinse, repeat. Sometimes, though, a band seemingly steps out of the box wholly put-together and throws that whole trajectory on its head. Bands like Jealous Creatures don’t start for fun (although I’m sure they do have a good time) and go from there, but instead have what sure seems like a fully-formed vision of who they are and where they’re headed. And boom, they kick things in gear and go there.” - Space City Rock

“The vocals throughout every track are immense, they are soft and mesmerizing. I would go as far as to say they are the driving force behind my likening for the band. They are unlike anything I have heard on this scene for a while, which means it can only be a good thing! I could sit on a beach with these tracks and get lost in my own chaotic mind.” - Loud-Stuff.Com

"Frank, freed of genre burdens, and shooting from the hip, Jealous Creatures are the tonic for the times when pop has become pitch-corrected and laden with false comforts. This band plunges back into the recesses of a cultural psyche awakened when alt-rock petered out and people reached for singer-songwriter tool bags. Jealous Creatures keep the edge, guts, and smarts, imbue the album with stripped down kindred rock ’n’ roll spirits, and aim to never droop or drag, just heave forward with well-crafted—not corporate—tendencies." - PopMatters

“By the EP’s end, I’ll grudgingly admit it — maybe Hirsch did originally play these songs on her own with just a guitar for gangs of hipster coffeehouse-dwellers. Make no mistake, though: this is how they were meant to be played, right here.” - Space City Rock

“K.O. does not actively engage in the local music scene, but he talks like someone who does. That's where we heard about this week's Artist of the Week, Jealous Creatures, a punchy little rock quartet with all the verve you'd expect a female-led band to possess. He mentioned them Friday afternoon; by Friday evening we were smitten.” - Houston Press Rocks Off

"By the time the elegaic “Little Heaven Big Sky” comes sweeping in, with its slow-stepping, delicate drums and Mojave 3-like feel, it’s like I’m out there on that darkened highway, speeding through the black with the windows down, just me and all those regrets. And I don’t ever want to reach my destination, wherever the hell that might be." - Space City Rock
