Press & BioPast Gigs |Radio Airplay Josh Cole can be heard on these radio stations. "I was impressed . . . a tight performance with a rich sound." The MIT Tech, Cambridge, MA "Nice songs, cool arrangements. A little folk, a little Stones, a little X … and more than a little cool." Hybrid Magazine "Poised for alt-rock success . . ." Boston Globe, Boston, MA "There are moments of greatness here … With Dylan-esque vocals and a Johnny Cash train-chugging country sensibility ... Cole seems to be in his element." Amplifier Magazine "A good catch . . . Cole and his band, the Household, present an edgy and eclectic pop-rock sound on their new album Hypocriticool." Worcester Telegram and Gazette Worcester, MA "A little bit singer/ songwriter, a little bit adult-contemporary, and a touch of rootsy-rock ’n’ roll, but most importantly a bunch of real good songs. I can’t think of any particular other performer to compare Josh Cole to, which I’m thinking is a good thing. He does have his own sound, his own identity. I like it." The Noise, Boston, MA "Powerhouse drums and machine-gun guitar riffs propel this solid rock and roll." Twangville.com "Hypocriticool has enough snarky guitar to rock, and enough catchy hooks to be pop. And Cole does sing a bit like a young Dylan, without working it enough to be obnoxious." MetroLand, Albany, NY "Hypocriticool is a love letter to music. It feels pleasantly familiar--but never derivative--because Josh Cole knows all your favorite songs, and he’s pulled together the best parts and woven them into his music in new and unexpected ways." Coffeehousetour.com "I love the way Josh Cole plays with the language." Catie Curtis (Vanguard Records) "A well crafted and produced album, Hypocriticool spans the musical spectrum from quick-witted rock hooks to soulful sit-down ballads. Josh Cole definitely solidifies himself (and his Household) as a gifted songwriter and artist." UnMag Zine "A very smart, interesting and fun songwriter." Webb Weekly, Williamsport, PA Quotes on the album Photosyntheses "It's pretty damn good." Nathan Howe, WUNH 91.3 Durham, NH "Cole has traveled the country and it shows, as he brings an eclectic sense of worldliness and subtlety to his jazzy folk. Pianos, horns, chimes, accordions -- all the instruments are there, but they're never prominent; they're always one step behind Cole, his guitar, and his words." Splendid Ezine, splendidezine.com "Very listener friendly." SoundCheck Magazine 
Their latest release, Hypocriticool, is a brilliant and never-predictable collection of songs that invites you to chill on a proverbial futon of sound offering a generous portion of beautiful, melodic imagery that tests your imagination and makes you want to crash Josh Cole's house party every night. |
