"Brooklyn’s Black Taxi plays neat little pop sounds in stripped-down rockabilly arrangements with surprising trumpet solos." - timeoutny

"a favorite new band... one of the most entertaining i've ever seen. they remind me of a smaller gogol bordello. and for those that know, that is saying something" - meetnowlive.com

"Pretty Mama is a track that's gotten into my brain and drives me mad eventually, because it's so hooky, and this looks like the kind of hit that could start on the 'cool' side of the fence before swinging over to KROQ... because it can appeal to so many different music heads" - futuresounds.blogspot.com

"Black Taxi’s immediately appealing swagger and biting bravado put them at the top of the CMJ music chain" - foundtrack.blogspot.com, allaccessmagazine.com

A New York City based indie rock outfit that blended high octane punk rock with a swagger found in such visual treats as a Tarantino film or Straight to Hell. -Chris True, Allmusic.com
