The Green Hour Band Self-Titled Album
Out Now on Kingdom Records
"this album has the frantic force of a tsunami."
-Joshua Kloke, gloriousnoise.com
"sounds like Their Satanic Majesties Request as recorded by the Beatles and released on ESP Disc. It's far-out, man."
-Jeffrey Morgan, Detroit Metro Times
"Ultimately The Green Hour Band, which often sounds like vintage Oasis, is young, happy, dynamic, and unpredictable rock best suited for loud boisterous parties."
-Sarah Malik, The Gateway
"Green Hour simply dig loud, sweaty, far-out music and they play it with gusto and without pretension."
-Mary Christa O'Keefe, Edmonton Vue
"À prendre en grande quantité, à n'importe quelle heure."
-Maxime Morin, Bandeaparte
"Best local release in the last 20 years!"
-Rob Firth, Neptoon Records
"The name refers to the practice of sipping absinthe, but the Green Hour Band's debut sounds more like the result of bathtub acid."
-Adrian Mack, Georgia Straight
"this debut is an eveloping, jangling, stereophonic, echo-plexed, psychedelic experience."
-Mark Bignell, Skinny Magazine
"Often loud and abrasive in that erratic proto-punk garage style, the Green Hour Band is as genuine as you'd hope."
-Evan Davies, Now Magazine
"There are a lot of good Vancouver bands playing in a huge variety of styles and this one has outlined a place of its own, which makes it the best in an exclusive circle."
-Tom Harrison, The Province Newspaper
"TGHB brings uniqueness to their music, with a definite Syd Barrett undertone, and that garage-esque thing we've heard from people like The Strokes or Franz Ferdinand."
-Peter Bremner, SoundProof Magazine
"On their self-titled debut full-length Vancouver, Canada's The Green Hour Band blends all the best elements of psychedelia (The Yardbirds, Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd), proto-punk (The Stooges, The Velvet Underground) and good old fashioned garage rock (Captain Beefheart, MC5) into some of the best hyper-retro 60's revival that I've heard in a long while."

"Psych-garage-rock grooves with that snarling 60's attitude. A sound that captures the essence of The Stones, The Sonics, bands found on The Nuggets series. Raw guitar-driven combustion that pounds, that roars, that keeps that dangerous flame burning brightly. This is real rock and roll in all it's wicked glory."

"This Vancouver band will make you forget about the newest Black Angels and Spiritualized releases."
-CJAM Radio Music Review
"the songs groove, the tunes are catchy, and you get the feeling that The Green Hour Band would put on a great live show."
