Some Reviews on Amo Joy:

"It's time to create a new playlist on your iPod—in between your work-out mix and your soundtrack for the road, you can file Amo Joy! under "Songs to Skip To." Get these playful, toy-orchestrated numbers in your earbuds and you'll be bouncing and bounding through cotton candy clouds with glee. Even if the lyrics are surprisingly dark at times, Amo Joy! (pronounced "ae-moe") writes melodies for fair rides, circuses and petting zoos... Syd Barrett would approve." - Michelle Gilzenrat, Flagpole magazine

"This is Amo Joy!, beauty through the juxtaposition of random oddities. I am obscenely excited by the whole raucous experience, I want to follow them around the country in a big battered bus and sing the wrong lyrics to Pet Sounds with conviction. It was the kind of show which makes me want to carry a pen around for the rest of my life so I can tattoo their name on to random people's hands all across the world." - Fran McDonald, Athens Exchange

"A completely delightful group, only the biggest Scrooge could resist their goofy charm"- punk rock skunk

"...slightly psychedelic anthem indie-rock. Imagine Destroyer going carefree, and you're close. " - Grayson Currin, The Independent

"If you've ever thought about creating a kazoo troupe, you're too late. Indy's psychedelic "magical mystery band" Amo Joy beat you to the punch... All the jovial Amo Joy needed was a tuba player to replace the bass parts in songs that needed hearty "oompahs" and clowns balancing on giant rubber balls for more novelty."- Leslie Benson, Nuvo

"They match the absurdity of psychedelia with pop likeability to craft skewed masterpeices. Their music is the optimistic alternative to angst-ridden bands like Margot and the Nuclear So and So's. Amo Joy's songs are free of soul searching angst and chock full of... Joy." - Barfly

"Their psychedelic pop tunes are sure to be a hit for the E6 fans, saturated with kazoos, singalongs, and a nice helping of melodica." - The Flat Response
