"More an idea than a working band for much of their seven-year run, this local supergroup -- featuring members of Vending Machine, River City Tanlines, and Harlan T. Bobo's backing outfit -- finally put the finishing touches to their second full-length. Led by singer-songwriters Alicja Trout and Robby Grant, the band creates a twisting, dissonant merger of art rock and chamber pop, that's often willfully weird, but always engaging." - Bob Mehr

"The art rock quintet MouseRocket emerged in 2008 as something more than the esoteric side project it has been for most of its seven years.

"Alone or together, Robby Grant and Alicja Trout are two of Memphis' finest music makers. In their "other bands" (Vending Machine and River City Tanlines, respectively), Grant specializes in gentle, melodic homemade pop, and Trout plays guitar-god bandleader. Joining forces in Mouse Rocket, they meet halfway (the album title is truth in advertising), and it suits them both. The best local album of 2008 without a strong national profile." - Chris Herrington

"A local musician acquaintance recommended this album to me with the following caveat: "I don't normally like indie-rock-type stuff, but this album rocks." Well, I'm here to tell you that I do generally like indie-rock-type stuff and that this album is pretty spectacular. Pretty Loud is the finest collection of straight-ahead rock songs by co-bandleaders Alicja Trout and Robby Grant to date." - J.D. Reager
