...Club Scout began the evening with loud guitars and straight ahead rock 'n' roll beats. Ben Eiserike's songs, filled with youthful tales of love and friendship, are reminiscent of other power pop quartets such as Superdrag and (old) Weezer, with their signature lead guitar and impassioned vocals. Club Scout were definitely having a fun time, as smiles and grins hardly left their faces. - DCist
...Club Scout bring their super-charged power-pop to the Red and the Black on Sunday. The quartet draws on the most raucous and unabashed of indie and the most infectious of driving melodics, proving this town is about so much more than hardcore. - Washington Post Express
...a set crammed with hooky ruminations on college abroad programs, teachers, and off-beat literature. Their chugging, mid-tempo sound calls to mind early Weezer, full of head-banging riffs and crunchy guitar breakdowns. A lot of bands tend to produce a dull, shapeless roar when pairing two guitars playing the same chord sequence – Club Scout, however, found a nice, mid-range-y balance that never sounded sloppy or ill-defined. Lead singer Ben Eiserike is all nervous collegiate energy, bouncing around the stage and hoisting his guitar aloft in faux-rock god grandeur. ...I simply cannot help but love any band that engages in Van Halen-style synchronized guitar choreography (as they did during the set-closing “Creepsicle”). - Brightest Young Things
