"Listening to Jookabox is like entering a scene in Trainspotting or SLC Punk, when the madness becomes so overwhelming, dialogue can no longer handle the transmission of the details and must give way to the music. " The Silver Tongue 

"Since we didn't ever really know what a "Grampall" was, we're glad Jookabox decided to forgo the forename on new album Dead Zone Boys. He didn't, however, lose the frenetic junk drum circles and doubled zombie falsettos that made the previous two long players as fun as shooting roman candles out of sedan windows." RCRD LBL 

"Prepare to have your head blown clean off by an exploding concrete ball of ferocious bass drums and guitars that’ll shock your spine with their intense therapy. Jookabox’s new album is a kaleidoscopic martyr; a hell-raising alert signalling the end of human existence. David Adamson’s third album, released by Joyful Noise in tandem with Asthmatic Kitty Records throws the doors wide open, tearing away any remnants of old-blues and psychedelic folk left over from his two previous albums (2007’s Scientific Cricket and 2008’s Ropechain) and cuddles together multiple genres of music that normally sit worlds apart. Hip-hop beats align with glam rock vocals (’Phantom Don’t Go’, ‘East Side Bangs/ East Side Fade’); trashy RnB vocal effects feed across urban country hymns (’Glyphin’ Out’, ‘F.I.T.F. 1?); Gospel singers join in chorus with howling sirens (’Don’t Go Phantom’) and folk guitars side with rockabilly rhythms (’You Cried Me’). It’s a colourful mess, but it’s also one of the most beautiful musical fusions of recent time. (9 out of 10)" Einstein Music Journal 

"Indiana natives Jookabox launch a third full-length album that is a study in the primordial stew of avant garde music effortlessly blending a hodgepodge of intriguing sounds. Get your mind numbed with their genre bending and stirring mix-o-logy." Smother
