Press for Unglued


"...airy, upbeat tunes...a light touch of class and radio hooks galore."

Jim Meyer, Minnesota Monthly - October 30, 2006

"The tunes on Unglued sound similar to some of the best underground guitar/keyboard pop bands from the 1980's... in a world full of phony artists... this band's music is truly refreshing."

LMNOP® Reviews, babysue.com - September 2006


"The Chinch Bugs have followed up their debut album with a collection of songs that are easy on the ears and refreshingly fun...it seems that going back to basics has helped the Chinch Bugs to refine their sound and claim it as their own.

Andrea Myers, Pulse of the Twin Cities - August 24, 2006


Press for Infestation


"...One thing is for sure: Infestation will keep any party hopping into the wee hours of the night."

Jason Horodyski, Left Off The Dial- July 19, 2005


"...If you truly believe "less is more", you're bound to find Infestation very palatable."

Emery Elkins, Splendid Magazine - April 11, 2005


"... crisp, clean pop, lots of keys and gently strummed electric guitars...The Chinch Bugs cleverly avoid extermination on Infestation."

Nathan Dean, Pulse of the Twin Cities - March 16, 2005


"... chinchbugs are awful lawn pests that suck the life from your lawn, leaving behind a poison that will eventually turn it brown. In contrast to the unpleasantness of their namesakes, I found the Chinch Bugs’ disk to be a fun listen, and I must not have been alone..."

David de Young, HowWasTheShow.com - February 2005


"Some tunes are simply fulfilling...while others are incredibly well-constructed and ultimately catchy. These folks most certainly have their hearts in the right places. Pure feelgood music played with sincerity and style."
