Stuyvesant the band.

"In an era when inspiration for pop-punk upstarts dates only as far back as Good Charlotte's latest album, what a treat when you find someone a little older and wiser. Thankfully and rewardingly, the Garden State-based Stuyvesant are both. In fairness, this quartet's first priority isn't really "punk" to begin with, rather, pummeling, heavy duty power-pop prodigiously informed by The Desendents/ALL, and more acutely, the phenomenal '90's era bands that "descended" from them , like Armchair Martian, Pollen, and Game Face. A zillion times over more smarter and more sincere than the latest batch of ersatz flakes hogging the limelight, it's all the more comforting to have a primo quality combo like Stuyvesant to fall back on."
-Neal Agneta, The Big Take Over Magazine (iss. 63)

"Sure “power pop” is back but most is way too refined and saccharine, and there’s a tad too much of the Brit pop variety. I need me some monster Mould-like waves of distortion, insanely tight drumming and a bit of self-deprecation to temper the sweetness of all the “la la las” and girl trouble topics.While contemplating my needs, I was more than surprised and excited to find out about Hoboken’s own Stuyvesant. After one listen to the song “Victorian Lawns” I was hooked. Completely. “Party on my lawn?” Why yes, let’s!"
-Jeff Lyons, Used Wigs (10/7/08)

"Stuyvesant, the high-energy indie rock band from New Jersey, is unabashedly, and refreshingly, forward with its intention to lose all pretenses and just play good rock music. From its solid rhythm section to its catchy melodies, Stuyvesant throws everything it has on the table for Fret Sounds, the band’s second full-length album. It ends up with 10 songs that are most effective when the guitars are upfront, the drums are heavy and the lyrics are clever."
-Rebecca Nathanson, CMJ (6/6/11)
