"I never heard of these guys till I saw it at listening station at a record store. I was blown away by the roots rock music and great vocals. Reminds of some of my favorite bands that never made it (for various sad reasons)- Gin Blossoms, Posies, Material Issue. I've got to see these guys live. I'll give it five stars if it stands the test of time. It's probably too much to wish that they make it big."
"Noggin Poundin " is a Smash Hit and the CD should be #1

"Finally a band that can rock you without boring you to death. The first 3 songs-Powerkiss, Girl, & Noggin Poundin are 3 of the best songs written ,produced & performed in a long time.Noggin Poundin, co-written by Mac Burrus of "SELF" is destined to be a #1 request. The rest of the CD continues with this excellence in rock. If you are tired of listening to songs that sound as if the singers are bored with life and you want to hear a crisp new approach that has a retro style-buy The Katies-You will definitely demand more."
Rock and pop combined in sweet harmony.

"The Katies self-titled album is a refreshing change from the still slightly angst-ridden alternative rock, such as Oleander and Godsmack (though, I do like both of those bands). There's a bit of 80's sound mixed in with the 90's style. "Powerkiss" and "Noggin' Poundin'" are sweet declarations of love (or like?), but with low levels of mushiness. If you like music the rocks, but doesn't give you a headache after listening to three songs, I definitely recommend this album."
A Kick in the Tuckus!

"This album is fantastic. I have owned it for two years and listen to it at least twice a week. Whenever I need to work off some energy, I just pop this puppy in and rock out! These guys are fantastic!"
Music that endures....

"I got this cd in 1999, it is now 2003 and I still own/listen to it!!! I am not even sure if the band is still together, but I still love this music. Working in clubs and with music for many years I have seen tons of bands, I have forgotten more bands than most people have ever seen! But I remember everytime I saw The Katies! Great power-pop! Put it in the cd player, roll down the windows and DRIVE!!!"
