05/07/04 - Harder Beat Magazine - "FlipSide", Wayne Ansell | | Click here to read Wayne Ansell's review of our show on April 9th at Ridglea Theater.
"Their alt/punk sound, infectious beats and clever, catchy lyrics create a unique diversion. The band was dead on target with crowd favorite, "Hit by Cupid." Extremely tight guitar work, funky rhythm, and a true punk vocal style..." | |

"These Texas high school boys are young enough to be Iggy Pop's grandchildren. But on this 5-song EP they play their melodic brand of pop punk with true passion.
JSOS does teenage angst a lot more convincingly than older, more jaded acts do. When the boys sing, "The worst way to miss someone is to sit right by them/And know you can never have them," you know they know of what they speak. And for older listeners it might even bring back some bad memories of biology class " | |

"...tight rhythm work, interesting arrangements, and wise-beyond-their-years lyrics... thick riffage laced with rough-edged two-guitar-string refrain could give broken hearted punks of all ages the blues...Call Just Short of Sunday another angry punk-pop band if you must. Just don't call 'em immature." | |
