"I've been spinning "Is This Your Pill?" for weeks now! I love it more every time I listen to it! These Atlanta guys have a very unique mix of 80's pop/rock with a little dash of pop-punk with some Queen undertones...what a lethal combination! Hooks galore!
My fave tracks on the disc hit you #1 and #2. The opening track is "5 Minutes Ago", which has the most punk flavor on the disc and a great initial grabber! This one's got the up-tempo rhythm and funk that I love...and the hooky chorus that's kept my shower walls shaking in agony! "Flow" is a slower, ballad-esque zinger that I absolutely LOVE! The music, the words, just the whole vibe of the song is awesome! The rest of the tunes are fantastic to, so you shouldn't miss a one! Incidentally, as additional proof of their talent, Greg Roth, the lead singer/songwriter, won the Rock Finals Award in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition for his song "Unhappy Hour" off their 5-song EP, "Something To Snack On." - EdgeMagazineOnline.com

"Excellent disc and a band I love to see live since their playing is killer...getting played on the 99x specialty show."

"This is classic modern day power pop of the highest sort. The center piece of this album is stunning. "Plain and Ordinary" takes the sting of classic Jellyfish and Queen`s slow building anthemics and creates a truly classic power pop song that I would argue is a hallmark song for the modern-day indie power pop sound in the 00`s." - Not Lame Records
"With beautiful melodies and heavenly harmonies, Greg Roth's band, Blankety Blank, are a very energetic and charismatic band you don't want to miss." - Creative Loafing
"There's quite a bit of lousy music floating around these days. But every once in a while a band appears that intuitively understands how to write great songs. Blankety Blank is one of those bands." - IndieMusic Review.com
"Songs are instantly addictive...and the vocals are out-of-sight!!! "Is This Your Pill?" is short, consisting of a mere 9 tunes, but within the confines of those nine tunes, these guys convey more ideas and feelings than 95% fo everyone else out there.
A truly keen little band to keep an eye on. 5+ out of 6 - babysue
"With the slightest bit of tweaking and more shows like their CD release party, Blankety Blank will be the next thing to happen in Atlanta and the next big thing to happen in music. "Something To Snack On" is a melodic quintet of tunes full of pop, punch, spunk and a hint of funk. All songs are upbeat and up-tempo with well-crafted lyrics." - Southeast Performer
"A Ben Folds sense of pop hooks (without the piano) and a little swagger mix with a touch of tongue-in-cheek humor and strong harmonies on this 5-song debut "Something To Snack On". Some press claims of impending world domination are probably a little premature, but then again, bands with a lot less to offer have been able to go a long way." - Insite Magazine
"The Atlanta based band, Blankety Blank, led by guitarist/vocalist Greg Roth, has released a five-song CD titled "Something To Snack On", showcasing Roth's quirky, tongue-in-cheek songwriting and the band's pop friendly, groove-oriented rock n' roll.
Comparisions to established acts like Beck-meets-Ben Folds Five, jump out on tracks like "m&m green & yellow" with the tracks bold, swaggering guitar work and exaggerated vocals." -99Xpress
"Blankety Blank (outta ATL) was just awesome! They had the energy, the chemistry, the vibe, and especially the music...the whole package for an ass-kicking good time! Great, great live band! The won the crowd over instantly! These guys started off big, and finished even bigger. Seriously, these guys are tremendous! - Live review, EdgeMagazineOnline.com
