Ad Boc Release Debut Solo Album "Pop Supraliminal"
Here's a tiny fraction of reviews of Ad's previous recorded output with Jumprope and Miranda Warning.

* Splendid: "You will play this disc over and over again and love it like family."
* Vividzine: "Did I gush enough last time I heard Jumprope, hmm? ...melodiously jangly guitars (think Sarah Records)...confident...well aware and unafraid to make pop."
* CMJ: "two parts Cardigans, one part Velocity Girl... popalicious... delectable."
* Melody Maker: "...splash, thrash pop... a splurge of storytale technicolor..."
* Option: "bruised, melodic pop with guitars that jangle and burn interchangeably ...solid..."
* Musician: "...beatific guitars and searching lyrics...songwriting evokes remarkably well the early Jam... sweet and unswervingly to the point."
* The Noise: "...an acute taste for songform ...compelling ...joyously sweeping ...high praise."
* NY Review of Records: "A band with the ability to write such hooky tunes should be noticed."
* East Coast Rocker: a tuneful triumph.. intricate.. intricate, catchy, offbeat"
* New England Performer: "...absolutely solid... Each song has its own special hook..."
* Pop Culture Press: "...crunchy morsels of guitar pop... rewarding listening."
* The Noise: "...true originals... There is not a single track on this CD that I wouldn't highly recommend... The vocal harmonies are a feast... infectious record..."
* BigO: "Pop kids of the world unite! Jumprope ... exemplifies the brave new pop..."
* PopScene: "music skips along at a consistently wonderful pace, occasionally stopping to hit the ground before the next terrific moonbound leap."
* NoiseQueen: "pop heaven...the whole project is a goddess-send and I could use a lot more"
* Cheeseball: "Love at first hear! sixties dreamy British modster jazzy flower child kind of love"
* New England Music Archive: "What beautiful pop songs we have here... fresh and original."
* Instant: "...great indiepop... major keys with minor key emotions...an irresistible package."
* Last Hug: "fantabulous...fresh, unabashed, orchestrated pop."
* Dagger: "...hooks galore ...If you're a pop fan, you'll want this in your collection."
* Slam: "...well-crafted and engaging pop music with plenty of memorable hooks."
* WFNX's Juanita: "Ad Boc has mastered the perfect three minute powerpop song."
