"Charging punk pushes then barges and is downright rude in the face of garage/blues rock, as the Trinidad & Tobago formed renegades of jointpop, grabs hold of the ballsy spirit and slight reggae leanings of The Clash."

"Monday Morning Love Situation is a well-written pop song with touches of Joan Jett and The Ramones."

"Swung together on spit and saw dust, Jointpop combine the ragged, passionate delivery of the Clash via The Wildhearts on a particularly scuzzy garage rock trip… Impressive!"

"This is how pop music should sound" something I’ve read a thousand times in reviews, feels kind of like a cop out and an easy / lazy thing to say but I’m going to have to bite the bullet and use it just this once, Jointpop’s double A-side is how pop music should sound.

"It’s a firm middle finger to pops conventional sound, flowing along to its own catchy beat, and it’s one which should, given the summer season’s a-coming, be flowing out of everyone’s nearest speaker. Very, very good indeed."

"'Please Don't Tell My In-Laws (I'm An Outlaw)' / 'Monday Morning Love Situation' by Jointpop sticks two fingers up at pop convention and kicks sand in the face of indie normality - lovely stuff!!"
Toxic Pete, http://www.toxicpete.co.uk (March 2009)
"What makes this band stand out musically is the smooth gritty vocals from front man Gary Hector who with his flowing long dreadlocks looks different to how he sounds. His vocals are somewhat similar to Stereophonics singer Kelly Jones in the way his voice really suits the feel of the music he is playing..."
Simon Phillips, www.rockandrollreport.com (Feb 2009)
"Gary Hector's vocals have a suitably rich and confident tone that suggests his place in rock history is already reserved.."

"jointpop's songs are massively influenced by classic British rock (think the Rolling Stones crossed with calypso and sunshine)."
Zofia Niemtus, metro.co.uk (July 2008)
"Incorporating a powerful mix of piano, guitar solos and fabulous drums, Jointpop have inherited a sound that is second to none. A happy, summery, band with a host of belting songs that will have you hitting the repeat button over and over."
Carla Callaghan, http://icscotland.co.uk (May 2008)
"The songs on 'TJTW' are excellently written"
Scorch Magazine (May 2008)
"The January Transfer Window has some of the best indie/rock songs you will hear throughout 2008".
Reverb Magazine (Mar 2008)
"If you want to hear a band and a record that you never heard before that delivers unique, honest and welcoming rock and roll, The January Transfer Window is a definite get".
The Architect, ownthismusic.com (Nov 2007)
"Desperate Houseflies is a valuable document, showcasing a hardworking band that deserves to tell its story—and to have it heard. Lovelace’s depiction is at once revealing, optimistic and very beautiful".
Gillian Moore, Trinidad Guardian (Oct 2007)
"The January transfer Window, jointpop's latest CD, is the band's most assured and satisfying release to date, and it will be an outright tragedy if it proves anything less than a success".
Caribbean Beat (Oct 2007)
"The January Transfer Window is a refreshing take on the band's style, presenting innovation, but never losing sight of the heart and soul of jointpop".
Liam Camps, Trinidad Guardian (July 2007)
"Memorable, danceable melodies, poetic lyrics, and skillful-at times brilliant-instrumentation, energy, humour and bad-ass attitude".
Gillian Moore, Trinidad Guardian (June 2007) |
