THE PRESS:

"Equal parts '80s American Underground punks and metro Detroit blue collar bar band, The Offramps' honest bile and wounded passion demands repeated listens to be accompanied by a shot of whiskey and a Pabst Blue Ribbon." (4 stars) - All Music Guide

"The Offramps do an exceptionally good job of capturing the loose, loud roots-pop of Minnesota's favorite band...[they] have taken the ground work laid by luminaries The Replacements, Cheap Trick, and Joan Jett and done it right." - Miles Of Music

"Heavy shovel-fulls of melody here, and a pitch fork deeply planted in a pile of rhythmic bliss. The latest release by the Ann Arbor, Michigan based trio, The Offramps, is 12 tracks of delicious, "mostly early 90's rooted" music with an almost (down home, country groove rock) charismatic flare. The Offramps are creatures of design focused whole-heartedly on detail. Great songwriting, and very much thought and attention put into the small detailed structure and scheme of the overall songs, complete with awesome hooks and peaks that seem to fall in all the right places. I might also add that the recording quality is top of the line! A superb mix for this straight, minimal frills brand of hometown rock and roll." - Muen Magazine

"A top notch slice of Midwestern grubby-jeans-and-t-shirt-blazing-guitar-pop-rock. So yes its Midwestern, t shirt and jeans, beer drinking, rocking pop. Thats no put down, when its done right theres little better music played on this planet, and the Offramps do it right." - Americana UK

"Hate It When Youre Right shows off the bands talent with a diverse set of rockin tunes. From the lead track Twenty3 which is reminiscent of the drunken guitars of Dinosaur Jr. or Son Volt to the power chords of Motorcade or Impulse Buy reminscent of an Urge Overkill. The album is chock full of amped up melodies to get your arms flaring and your head bobbing. With shrewd lyrics, powerful hooks and a sound to make any guitar enthusiast salivate, The Offramps rock! Heck, do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of the whole dang album. You wont be sorry" - Twangville

"Tracks like Twenty3, Sunshine State and Hallmark Holiday (theres a sweet harmonica solo on that one) are catchy bar rockers the kind of thing youd expect to hear walking into a blue collar bar for a Miller High Life on a Saturday night in a suburban town. The guitar solos are fluent, the riffs jangle, and the rhythm section rolls along like a strong plow. The real message here is in the songs, which are crisp, catchy and more than ably put to life on this album." - Delusions of Adequacy

"There are a lot of bands that do this type of thing - but very few who do it this well!" - Hanx

"Not bad for a group of dudes who look well past the ripe local stardom age of Twenty3 the opening track that gives cause for attention. Its the right-on, off beat diversions that give these Replacements-style power pop tracks their allure. On the whole, Hate It will help you remember why you love power trios and hanging out at the bar." - The Daily Vault
