"Punk as Fuck"-Village Voice
"Overwhelmingly honest. It's not rockstar emotion by numbers. He is a fucking genius. Grand statement? Yes, obviously. But it's so true. This guy is excellent!"-Careless Talk Costs Lives
"Antifolk's punkiest exponent, Joie/DBG delivers attitudinal, acoustic punk vignettes with a gruff voice and aggressive guitar action. His song "Bleecker Street" explains the anti in antifolk."-Time Out London
"Hovering between the comical and the anguished his song intros bordered on stand up, and his Iggy like energy wrenched emotion through enormous eyelined brown eyes. He has the ability to write lyrics that pinch you, Funny and honest, angry and sad, songs explode intense and intent, you have to watch him."-Trakmarx.com
"A Dave Van Ronk type of songster able to get truly meaningful in his songs"-N.J Coast News

"He plays punk songs of frustration, railing rage and eternal questionings in a blur of strumming on an acoustic guitar amped to 11"-musicdish.com

"This folk-punker writes tunes that rant on Bleecker Street, the music business, and growing old"-CMJ
