Praise for the Lovely Bad Things:
"If Pixies were Los Angeles surf punks instead of Boston smartypantses, they might've sounded a lot like the Lovely Bad Things. The boy-girl vocal exchange that powers this rambunctious quartet's infectious songs is positively Frank and Kim, but the playful humor and slackerly vibes are their own, making the band's music an enticing addition to the conversation." - SPIN
"Think surfboards, shake shacks and a sun-bleached pier where The Pixies meet up with The Shangri-Las... like I said, dreamy." - My Old Kentucky Blog
"The band's live energy defines them, with a garage influence comparable to Burger Records graduates King Tuff and Ty Segall and a first single that could be the best cover of the Pixies ever if the Pixies had written the song." - Paste
"If you take the energy of any of the aforementioned acts (Black Keys, Ty Segall and King Tuff), combine it with an optimistic pop charm and a LA-worthy pop culture obsession, you should have a good idea about Lovely Bad Things" - Ad Hoc
