Everett True, Collapse Board
"...their music is straightforward enough: good-time, plangent, dirty pop... music aches with desire... Morose, yet joyful. Fumbling, unsure but with a real swaggering gait. Lovely, lovely, lovely. It’s almost 1978 UK powerpop as well … or ’82 UK punk. Lovely."
Calvin Johnson, The Believer Issue 91 (Music Issue 2012)
"A classic rock-and-roll power trio with a pop habit they cannot shake. Fixin’ to die, laughing. Happy Noose have released several records and cassettes on their own Dead End Social Club label, and will record their new album, Amagosa, with Tim Green at Louder Studios in Grass Valley, California. “One Way Ticket” is from their eight-song cassette Happy Noose. It could be your next workout tape."

"This one opened with what sounded like a punk take on something that fell off one of Ride’s early EPs... I could have gone for at least half an LP of that, but was stunned at the divergence that followed... Between the bookends are eight tracks of slackerific pop punk, with vocals that at times have a slightly despondent and unaffected charm that fit really well. Definitely one of the best things I’ve gotten for review—of which I didn’t have any prior knowledge—in a while."
Matt Driscoll Weekly Volcano 8/24/11" Built on an often upbeat bed of mildly exuberant punk-tempered chords and crashes, and held together by the singer's Malkmus-esque drawl, Happy Noose is a band that will feel familiar to even those who've never encountered them before. Dead End Social Club Records recently released the band's debut LP.. something tells me you should consider getting your hands on it."

Dusted Magazine
"Punk with a rootsy, folky Dinosaur Jr feel at times, and the same feeling in the vocals."

"Pretty awesome punk rock from this Olympia, Wa trio. I guess this cassette holds a couple songs from their demo and some up coming tracks from an LP. Tight, upbeat and played with enthusiasm. Definitely worth checking out if that sounds like it's your thing."

Maximum Rock N Roll #335 April 2011"The music is a little more upbeat than the vocalists style and his yawning drawl lends the music a more morose feel than it would have otherwise. I found myself liking how these things played off each other."
