A bit from those we’ve impressed in the press:
“[T]he latest from Barons in the Attic captures a band at peak creativity…With guitars charging, the band dust off their pop savvy…the perfect soundtrack for making a bottle of rotgut wine disappear…Turn It Off and Take Out the Battery is a document of a band stretching out…it never feels forced and retains a cracked pop sensibility throughout.”
-Raurri Jennings, Metroland
“[F]olk-rockers from down the street, Barons in the Attic is a cacophony of lively merriment…This folkternarock quartet is attempting to blur the line between genres with aspirations of lovingly rocking your proverbial socks off.”
-Michael Weidrich, Times Union
“Barons in the Attic stick to the uninhibited B3nson jangle on their self- produced debut: a record that captures the infectious living-room-guitar-party energy of their live shows…In the end, it’s the songwriting that stands out, as tempos leap and fall without forewarning, and tunes resolve in beer-swinging sing-along codas…it’s hard as a listener not to feel like you also have a place in the mix.”
-Josh Potter, Metroland
“BARONS IN THE ATTIC…incorporate a high level of energy with their silly boy charm.”
-Rita Payne, Examiner
“the four-piece has successfully failed to disappoint me…these dudes pull from a variety of rock-infused genres to create a unique blend all their own that is sprinkled with obvious passion towards their craft. Simply put: listen to this band if you want to listen to good dudes who have a good time and make good music with good intentions. No games, no gimmicks.”
-KC, KeepAlbanyBoring.com
“…Barons in the Attic are an ambitious, blood, sweat, and tears type of band who love what they do…there is something to enjoy and appreciate in each song, such that this eleven track album never bores…The members of this quartet each clearly have a high level of facility on their instruments, but rather than just showing off their technical abilities, they demonstrate sensitivity and an interest in creating emotionally moving soundscapes…the real impressive quality of this band: they succeed fairly well in at least four genre categories…hard rock, pop, folk and alternative rock…”

“Albany’s favorite not-so-serious college rock band has been getting more serious lately thanks to a killer new album and a new music video…”
