- Words for No Bird Sing
"Nearly everything about No Bird Sing is innovative and artistic. Just the musical makeup of the group is gutsy: essentially a hip-hop band built on the raw sounds of one guitar, one microphone, drums and little else. The lyrics are bold, too, influenced by everything from "A Clockwork Orange" to Muddy Waters to Polish poet Czeslaw Milosz."
- Chris Riemenschneider, Star Tribune
"There's a huge buzz about No Bird Sing around town and for good reason...they are the best new local band of 2009."
– Empty’s Tapes
"No Bird Sing reject hip-hop clichés on groundbreaking debut… At their strongest, No Bird Sing show off three artists working their mediums to a tense high. The melancholic guitar riffs and sparse drumming of "Devil Trombones" weave a pulsing web around Horton's Clockwork Orange-inspired screed on the terrors of trying to be free.”
- Carl Atiya Swanson, City Pages
"While No Bird Sing's minor-key melodies and funereal tone will likely try the patience of listeners seeking instant gratification, its stunning originality is rewarding over several listens. Those who take the time to let No Bird Sing’s shadowy tunes sink in will find them hard to shake.
– Rob Van Alstyne, The Onion (Twin Cities Decider)
"Is it still hip-hop if the boom-bap is replaced by lo-fi winding guitars with echoes of lost blues tracks and indie sensibilities? No, but with a charismatic frontman in Joe Horton aka "Eric Blair" and a measured, thoughtful approach to songwriting they make for a winning combination."
– Sound Verite

- One Day as a Lion, Muddy Waters, Black Keys, Jimi Hendrix, El-P, RZA,

Afro-punk is a platform for the other Black experience, the one we don't see in our media. D.I.Y (Do It Yourself) is the foundation.
