"If you haven't already heard of Third Grade Teacher, you will soon, because this band -- which sounds like Woodpussy, the Pandoras, L7 and the Breeders all rolled into one -- has the rare ability to make a roomful of people stand still and listen."
-- Miriam Jacobson, LA Weekly
"The rock they carve is dark, passionate and punk-ass threatening, with an occasional noise-piece excursion tossed in, sorta what the moaning noises would sound like at a Sonic Youth/Hole/Patti Smith orgy -- beautiful, but ominously so."
-- Rich Kane, OC Weekly
"Third Grade Teacher is heavy, except when they're
pretty and sweet,
or when they're playing rock anthems, or when the
birdcall vocals
enter, then you're not sure what's going on any more,
except that it's
right. Third Grade Teacher writes songs that, after a
couple of
listens, you seem to have known for years. Except
when they're so
goddamn heavy you simply beg for more pummeling. They
have respect
for the classic order of hook, riff, and pop
structure, but bend it to
suit their mutant vision, where every genre is seized
by the throat
and made to serve them, the Roman Empire of anthem
rock."
-- Nicholas Johnson, author of Big Dead Place: Inside the Strange & Menacing World of Antarctica
"My third grade teacher didn't sound nuthin like yer third grade teacher. GREAT F***IN RECORD! I didn't know anybody could rock like that anymore.
Worshipping at the feet of your greatness."
-- Charles M. Young
"Who says rock is dead? These guys rule!"
