PHILADELPHIA CITY PAPER "...The Young Werewolves will rock your flesh off..."
GOTHIC BEAUTY "...resounding praise for the re-ignited revival of rockabilly..."
ROCKABILLY MAGAZINE "...the Werewolves summon forth...the unearthly and wonderful ghost of distorted netherworld...rock 'n' roll..."
THE CUTTING EDGE "...an earthy production takes opening number 'Evil Soul' back to the late’60s with a bouncing bass over a stripped down riff. Enjoying the advantage of having three singers in the band keeps the chorus tight and catchy. 'Blackjack & Roulette' brings the record into clear focus as the wolves hit their stride with sideburns and poker shirts becoming the coolest thing this side of Vegas..."
PRICK MAGAZINE "...Hot rod culture, 50's rock n' roll and monster movies have always been great bedfellows, and you're not going to find more convincing proof of this than the debut release from Philadelphia's The Young Werewolves..."
PHILADELPHIA WEEKLY "...The Young Werewolves will rock your rotting socks off..."
PHILADELPHIA CITY PAPER "...punk and rockabilly maestros..."
LEGENDS MAGAZINE "...bubblegum rock with an entrails flavor..."
ROCKABILLY BABE "...the back-up lyrics and harmonies are to die for and the surf-punk mix has never had such justice done to it. If i were Ebert, they’d get 2 severed thumbs up!..."
LUNAR HYPNOSIS "...if you can't dig these groovy graveyard romps, get a shovel...every single song…is worth its weight in embalming fluid..."
AROUND PHILLY "...one of Philly's hardest working acts..."
MAXIMUMROCKNROLL (pdf) "...the 'long awaited' debut of The Young Werewolves...is like a big halloween extravaganza..."
PHILADELPHIA WEEKLY Under-the-Radar-Love "...Halloween may be behind us, but that's no reason to ignore the ghoulishly themed punkabilly of The Young Werewolves, who recently signed a sweet licensing deal with MTV. The trio's self-titled album is peopled with zombie car chases, cocaine mummies, black cats and werewolf fever, but it's as catchy as it is kitschy. And when bassist Dana K. takes over lead vocals for 'Graveyard of Love,' it's as if they've resurrected Patsy Cline. Second best surprise? A hidden cover of 'White Wedding'..."
VILLAGE VOICE (pdf) "...gothabilly, surf punks...fairly run-of-the-tomb post-Cramps but still as kooky as titles such as 'Zombie Car Chase' and 'Graveyard of Love' suggest."
NO BRAINS ZINE "...when you hear the album, you know you have something extraordinary in your hands..."
ROCK N ROLL PURGATORY "...like your rockabilly with a horror movie edge? The Young Werewolves are the band for you. Blending the feel of all the classic surf and twang i know you love with a very healthy (or unhealthy?) dose of b-horror, this three-piece from Philly takes you to the dark corners of your mind when things go bump in the night..."
PHILADELPHIA WEEKLY 'Hip-O-Meter: IN' "...Young Werewolves local goth/rockabilly outfit makes good by signing a licensing agreement with reality tv producers Bunim/Murray Productions, which means we'll be hearing a lot more of the Werewolves' music on MTV. Look for road rules and the real world to take on Addams Family-esque overtones in the coming months! Philly's love affair with reality television=IN no danger of ending anytime soon! Young Werewolves=IN need of a big break, they just might have found their road to stardom!"
WORLD HORROR NETWORK "...Not only is this cd appetizing to listen to but very attractive to the eye. If you are a fan of the rock n' roll/surf with a sprinkle of rockabilly this is an album for your collection, a prime example of what i consider a horror rock n' roll band, they look and feel the part in every aspect..."
BLACK ANGEL PROMOTIONS "...debut album shows the band has talent. There's no doubt about that. There is a beautiful hybrid of sounds here and could quite possibly be good enough to one day sign with a major label."
PULSE WEEKLY "...the band finds musical inspiration from an old vault deep inside a haunted tomb. Prepare to be scared ... muhaha. The irony here is that the Werewolves’ music is upbeat and innocent, like the 1950's."
AROUND PHILLY "...It won’t be disney on ice, but there will be some werewolves at the Festival Pier Riverrink at Penn’s Landing...listen for the howls in the air. Even Hans Christian Andersen would be pumped for this event."
THE LARGEST MARTINI LIST ON THE WEB (goth,metal,punk reviews) "...this is a great disc, fans of bands ranging from The Misfits to the Nekromantix should put this on their 'must buy' list now."
EARFASHION "...also ich bin sehr positiv von The Young Werewolves überrascht. Ein album, dass meinen cd-player in nächster zeit wohl nicht verlassen wird. Für freunde „alter zeiten“ ein muss!"
PHILLY FREAKOUT "...I love this band. One of the best recent local finds. A delightfully fun mix of garage, punk and rockabilly. I especially dig the horror references...Five Bites."
OBSKURE "...la composition du combo est d’une simplicité déroutante, une quatre cordes mêlée à une guitare surf bien comme il faut, l’ensemble porté par une batterie efficace. L’originalité ne vient donc pas de la structure mais tout simplement des compositions, d’une grande variété."
THE BACKWOODS BEACH PARTY ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO CFRU 93.3 (Ontario, Canada) "...Horror punk au go go! This is one hell of a fun disc that a more hackeneyed reviewer might suggest for a graveyard party. Definitely a party album it has a surf-a-billy punk rockin' voodoo twist vibe with excellent lyrics that are about as deep as a shallow grave."
CARBON 14 (pdf) "...horrorbilly power trio...with more rock and less billy than most bands with an upright bass..."
BLACK ANGEL PROMOTIONS (Review of 'This is Horrorpunk Vol. 2') "...the music is great, lots of melody and great guitar riffs..."
BUCKS COUNTY COURIER TIMES (pdf) "...The Young Werewolves...perform a mix of garage, punk and rockabilly known as psychobilly..."
