Listening to Rockpile is like finding an ancient record in your parents basement that they didn’t want you to know about. It’s a little messy, it’s a little muddy, and the songs are deceptively simple. The production on this album is certainly not the best on this list, but it’s not meant to be... All of these aspects add to the sad, chaotic, mysterious experience it is to listen to Rockpile. - Artvoice.com
I'm really at a loss for comparisons for this Buffalo, NY band. They mix atmospheric indie rock with modern effects. The uniquely processed strings on "Behemoth" are absolutely mindblowing. - Snob's Music T.O.
The band members site the influence of artists like My Bloody Valentine, Radiohead and Animal Collective as being predominant in their aesthetic approach. They aren’t just tossing around names to look cool, either. My favorite songs on this fine album are “Nothing’s Out There” and “Behemoth,” both of which suggest an expansive, far-reaching interpretation of the indie-rock ethos. This music breathes, is consistently adventurous and sounds like it has plenty of places to go. - Buffalo News
