    Forever Today succeeds in every way that Forgiveness Rock Record didn't, and you can only hope that Kevin Drew, Brendan Canning and company are taking notes from the scene-stealers based out of Sweden. This is sticky sweet stuff, and it's a must listen.

    It's the scattered, ambitious energy of twenty-somethings, when everything seems possible and even though you don't know where you're going or what you want when you get there, you feel compelled to run the whole way.

    The new album continues that tradition of determined uplift.

    Like the much-maligned puppy, Forever Today is as cute as can be--but alas, hardly the pick of the indie pop litter. [May 2011, p.85]
