"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."

The Next Big Thing
"It’s hard to be a pop star who wants to make thrilling three to four minute missiles of rock, keeping the hooks and the guile needed for mainstream airplay, but never losing sight of that tension and dirt that make for a rewarding Pow!! to the senses musical explosion. Million Dollar Mouth belong in that sparse wasteland, somewhere between the loose jams of the independent and the too fine polish of the Adult Alternative crowd. This is a land where the tunes are crafted yes, but not for a second losing their fragile heart or their honest intensity. In other words, their wasteland is a delightful place to be. There is something comforting in the way they deliver a thrashing guitar melody, and counterpoint it with a carefully judged lead vocal that floats above subtle harmonies. In some reviews they are called tasteful, and while that’s well meant, I think it does them a disservice, because it implies that the band play it safe with their songs. This is so not the case, sure these are creations aimed straight to the heart of the chart, but they are also pulsing real things tensed up with pop steel. The tension is the thing here, they write about darker times, scary times, where the soul shattered and picking up the pieces seemed an impossible task, then they gleefully shove in some messy dollops of hope and the ability of rock n roll to release you, if only for the time it takes the tune to unravel. There will be some hip young things that will not listen here and that will be their loss, and there will be some that are taken by surprise and as the chords and voice and sonics sink in, find them selves thoughtful, even disturbed. In a very good way. Dig deeper"

"Being a music reviewer you listen all kinds of music, from all kinds of bands, some good, some bad and some average. Every once in a while you find a group that you really feel comfortable with, a group that you can listen to over and over again without it getting stale. A group that produces music so full of “hooks” that the tunes start running through your head day and night. Million Dollar Mouth is one of these rare groups! Snakes is a good example of this. For some reason that repetitious opening just grabbed me and I can’t seem to get it out of my head! Maybe it’s because I’m older than a lot of my visitors, but if the opening to Big Kiss isn’t reminiscent of The Beatles I don’t know what is. It has that sorta “LoFi”, “megaphoney” quality to it that makes it so smooth and easy to listen to. 143 is a little harder driving. Mary S. does a great keyboard fill about 3/4 way through and somehow this piece has almost an “Oriental” sound to it. 80’s bass riffs are infectious on all tunes and Vanja does a fantastic job on guitar. Lead vocalist Biscotti seems to have just a touch of a sneer, just a hint of irony in his voice as he belts out the lyrics. For some reason, I find this appealing for this type of music. It fits perfectly with the lyrics. MDM has not ignored addressing social issues, either. Falling in love with someone and trying to break up with them and get you “Big Kiss Goodbye”! It doesn’t take long to realize everyone in MDM is giving 110% to their music 100% of the time. That’s exactly what it takes to succeed in today high competition music world. Kat Corbet is right, MDM does have “impeccable taste and style”. They also have some damn good music, too. I see no reason why Million Dollar Mouth shouldn’t have at least one song in the top 20 within the next year. They sure have impressed me! For having “impeccable taste and style” and damn good music I rate Million Dollar Mouth and PanicKING a solid 10 stars and a huge “thumbs up”!

“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
