"Get ready for warm, catchy vocals, a boatload of reverb, and a tambourine-shaking good time." - AllMusic
"...Best Behavior’s more straight-up stuff feels fresh." - CMJ
"In our quest to find the official song of the summer, we think it’s safe to say “Bad Habit” is the top contender." - Diffuser.fm
"There is a certain throwback element to Good Luck Bad Karma, whether it is intentional or not. Their song “Magic” can be likened to something that The Kinks would have released, while the songs “Bad Habit” and “Tinder Flakes” are clearly inspired by Detroit punk-rock acts such as The Stooges and MC5." - Pop Shifter
"Essentially, the whole listening experience is just fun. Carefree, toe-tapping, head-bopping fun...Great things are coming out of Brooklyn with Best Behavior at the forefront." - That Music Magazine
"...Good Luck Bad Karma is full of great harmonies and reverb-heavy guitar lines." - Confront Magazine
"Good Luck Bad Karma captures our hearts with beautiful vocal performances and relatable themes. It’s a gem of an album that is fun and heartwarming, one that can be sung along to, but also believed in as every word feels genuine and meaningful." - Aphra Magazine
"...complete with playful approaches to vocal harmonies and punchy, reverb drenched guitars." - Speak Into My Good Eye
"...melodic vocal harmonies awash in a sea of reverb and jangling guitars. It sounds like it was plucked wholesale from a tripped out hippy beach party in 1967 and given a modern makeover." - Mad Mackerel
"Saturated in '60s-inspired, grunge guitar and Gruenburg's upbeat vocals..." - Culture Collide

Bio
Hailing from Brooklyn, Best Behavior is an incendiary four-piece garage pop band comprised of songwriter and lead vocalist Alex Gruenburg and Jon Mann, Dan Jacobson, and Chris Jimenez.
Taking cues from 60’s British Invasion bands and laced with rich harmonies and surfy, reverb drenched guitars, their debut album Good Luck Bad Karma has garnered praise, being hailed “…a tambourine-shaking good time.” by AllMusic.com and Diffuser.fm says, “In our quest to find the official song of the summer, we think it’s safe to say “Bad Habit” is the top contender."
Deeply rooted in high energy rock and roll, Best Behavior’s sound owes much to bands like The Kinks, The Velvet Underground, and The Beach Boys and they've amassed a devoted following in New York City thanks to their electrifying live show and Gruenburg’s honest, clever songwriting. Playing sold-out shows at venues like Irving Plaza and supporting bands like The Darkness, The Struts, Teen, and Pains of Being Pure At Heart, the band has already earned slots at summer festivals such as Moonstone Music Festival and Musikfest in 2016
