"Reverent without being adoring... A distinctly American kind of groove.... mixed it up with a Tom Waits kind of eclectism and passion.... Very nice!" - WXRT - The Local Anesthetic
"It's a Sin, a fantastic collection of old-timey music played in dedicatedly retro fashion" - Chicago Reader
"Combining elements of Vaudeville, country, and classic rock in a time when every other new band on the planet either cites the Rolling Stones or Joy Division as influences, Bakelite 78 is distinctive to say the least. Armed with the unique and stylized vocals of guitarist Robert Rial and a one-of-a-kind brass section, track for track this self-titled full-length is charming and infectious."--Dean Ramos, Illinois Entertainer
