PRESS QUOTES
"The best thing about this album (Reset) is that it is enjoyable to listen to; it is not boring; and it is not just pretty to look at, while completely defying the sensibilities." - PARASITES & SYCOPHANTS
âStaten island's happy anarchy, whose excellent second album, reset, came out in may, plays orchestral rock on the type of grand scale that can feel, as you listen, like undertaking a journey; you climb and descend, run with arms akimbo, hop from one stone to the next - it's quite an impressive piece of work.â - ANYONEâS GUESS
"All I can say is that their band name (Happy Anarchy) is also their genre of sound. If you've heard the track At The Bottom of the Sea, you'd know exactly what I'm talkin' about. Their songs have a great range of sound, with utilization of guitars, keyboard and Trombone?! These guys are going to rock you hard, with lots of indie fun of course." - BBQ CHICKEN ROBOT
âIts (Reset) a great platter of late-Beatles, peak Built To Spill-type angst pop numbers. Having initially struggled with some lineup changes, the band has gelled with undeniable chemistry into a tight 5-piece, and is beginning to make some well-deserved radio and publicity ripples. After some East Coast engagements this summer, look for Happy Anarchy in the cooler clubs near you this year." - PODFLASH.NET
"Indie rock bands think it's cool to use trumpets and trombones again -- with mixed results, but every once in awhile a band gets it right. Take Happy Anarchy, a quintet form Staten Island, NY. Happy Anarchy loves taking risks, with twists and turns to mess with the melody that is always there." - HERE COMES THE FLOOD
"Most impressive however, is that it's good, gloriously so, which frankly, is rare for a rock band these days. Their (Happy Anarchyâs) musicianship is top-notch, the song writing is really strong, the lyrics are intelligent - everything about this band shows they really put some quality work into what they're doing" - Jimmy Alvarado
- RAZORCAKE MAGAZINE
"Happy Anarchy's music is all about trading complex guitar lines akin to Built To Spill, majestic wall of sound production like Mercury Rev, and intelligent-beyond-their-years lyrics. Add to that, the fact that each song on their album Reset is different from the previous and you have a fun band." - THE POP! STEREO
"The album is rich in sound and performance. The excellent "In Reverse," which puts a Flaming Lips-like drum break, driving bass line and insistent guitar riffs over Joe Pecora's crescendoing vocals about a relationship, prove that Happy Anarchy has solid material that rock-loving Islanders needs to check out." - Ben Johnson - AWE
"What's so great about Happy Anarchy's set and music in general is that every song is completely different from the previous. "Doin' It Over" was a heavy, guitar-driven song with a fast beat to it, having many in attendance dancing along while practically the entire room was singing with Joe during the chorus of "At The Bottom Of The Sea.""
- Annie Reuter - YOUSINGIWRITE
âIt just goes to demonstrate that Happy Anarchy have crafted an enjoyably diverse sophomore release that should have most worldly rock fans hooked.â - OBSCURE SOUND
