(Complete Review by Dan Bernal)
"This is the kind of CD you wait for as a reviewer; a secret, top-shelf bottle you might get the chance to crack first before it spreads around the party. There's something instantly but not specifically familiar about Million Dollar Mouth which grabs your ear and keeps it through the course of the disc. Cool drips off these warm-toned, lazy tunes like a whiskey waterfall into a bong basin. These guys sound like they're stylistically kicking the crap out of The Strokes while smoking Stone Temple Pilots' cigarettes and listening to the Marvelous 3. Whether or not Million Dollar Mouth is trendy (fast-rising L.A band...), there's an earnest cohesion to the music that defies attempted-hipster posturing. In his upper register, singer Mike Biscotti draws a little from crooner Jeff Buckley without defiling either Buckley's legacy or corrupting his own individuality. The lyrics are lightly self-effacing, Biscotti paints familiar emotions and situations without abusing cliché or waxing too clever. His cask-aged vocal depth and ease is instantly contagious over the Butch Walker-inspired poppy rock arrangements. The musicians don't push too hard or play too much, everyone seems to fit his role in a sort of equality which steadily promotes the songs over any one player. These guys have real potential."

“Million Dollar Mouth stands out as a band with impeccable taste and style.”
Kat Corbet (KROQ DJ)

“A beautiful standout track for Million Dollar Mouth comes from Don’t Disappear. The song shows off their lyrical and musical depth and is reason enough alone to grab this album for your collection.” Krystal Laeger, Performer Magazine

“MDM releases a solid 11-song disc here, mostly in the rock/alt vein. They sound somewhere between Stone Temple Pilots and My Chemical Romance. Mike Biscotti's vocals throw an interesting curve, as he is reminiscent of Iggy with a Morrison vibe. "Give It Up" sounds like Maroon 5's next hit… I think they can really turn heads…” Sean Helton, IMPACT Press

"It's just one good song and performance after another. Each song is a little different than the last, but still recognizable as Million Dollar Mouth and no one else. A great accomplishment. Get out there guys, you've got fans to make, as I'm sure you will." Steve Allat, Muse's Muse

"This is grungy alternative, dare I say, garage rock, at its finest; no, perhaps finest is too nice of a word to use - let’s just say it is music to bang your head to, get all psyched up about, music to crank up those speakers and roll down the windows to. Yeah, this is killer punky-sounding, teeth-gritting rock music and I loved it." Keith Hannaleck, Musicreviews.com

"There is a good chance that these guys will go far...they're unique enough to sound out of place and catch ears on radio, but not strange enough to alienate less adventuresome listeners." Mark Hensch, Rock'n'World

“In just over two years, Million Dollar Mouth has notched some impressive accomplishments, including making Music Connection’s Top 100 Hottest Unsigned Bands list and taking top honors at last year’s KROQ Battle Of The Bands. MDM Blends American Hard Rock with a distinctly British component to create a unique and compelling sound all their own.” Cincinnati City Beat

“Million Dollar Mouth's sound is an original yet diverse mix of influences from grunge, pop, punk and rock. Million Dollar Mouth's eleven-track, debut is power packed with hard driving rhythms, edgy guitars and energized vocals. 'Stupid Like Me' and 'In A Garbage Can' start the CD off strong with their forceful guitars, robust vocals and torrential beats but the rest of the album is potent too. The band's distinctive hard rocking sound and compelling lyrics make Million Dollar Mouth a winning proposition!” Laura T Lynch, Kweevak.com
