“I am totally knocked out by the Infrared Radiation Orchestra…Killer Kool. Reminds me of a cross between The Velvet Underground, Butterfield’s “East West,” The Doors, and early Pink Floyd, with hints of Blue Oyster Cult. NO ONE plays like this anymore.”
— Greg “Stackhouse” Prevost (Outside Magazine / The Chesterfield Kings)
“I don’t know what IT is, but I know that Infrared Radiation Orchestra has it.”
— Albert Bouchard (Drummer & Vocalist: Blue Oyster Cult / The Dictators)
“The Infrared Radiation Orchestra sounds like a wild mix of everything good that happened in Rock & Roll from 1966 to 1976.”
— Jim Catalano (The Ithaca Journal)
“Stunning psychedelic garage rock hearkening back to a time when real rock was dangerous and meant something. Profoundly lyrical with a charming addictive energy.”
— Meagan Romer (Grassroots Music Festival Program)
“One of the best things about Infrared Radiation Orchestra is what they do with covers. They make interesting choices – I AM THE WALRUS, WEREWOLVES OF LONDON, THESE BOOTS ARE MADE FOR WALKIN’, etc. – and their imaginative and engaging arrangements make their covers more original than many bands’ originals.”
— Danny Citran “The Frigid Air”
“Infrared Radiation Orchestra’s recordings are great, but you don’t totally get this band until you see them live.”
— Terry Quill (Moon dogs Lounge/The Joe Whiting Band/Mark Doyle & The Maniacs)
“I am a professional clown so I totally get where this band is at.”
— Pepino The Clown
