"The Tattle Tales have proven that they can write catchy songs and do it amazingly well. Hearts In Tune is a well-crafted mix of pop and punk. The melodies and music are spectacular. This is one of the best releases of the year...anywhere. Listen to it and it will have you singing their tune. It reminds me of Elvis Costello, the Beach Boys and the Zombies. This is a must-have for pop punk fans."
"I had the pleasure of receiving an advanced copy of this album sometime in November and I was absolutely blown away. Pop-punk isn't really my cup of tea but these guys are great. In the bloated music industry overcrowded with sound-alikes and wannabes, The Tattle Tales stand out.
Well worth the money."

Good stuff right here. Put it on and let your head hang upside-down over the edge of your bed and maybe even feel a few things. Remember that scene in Charlie's Angels where Cameron Diaz dances around her bedroom in her skivvies? I can't listen to 'Maybe' and not do that. Lauren Thompson
As a concept album . . . well, no such thing has ever survived on the conceit of the concept if the songs aren't there. Even Townshend can't explain what the hell Tommy is about. But Ryan brings the songs "because he has to" (to paraphrase the last cut), and thank the rock gods that he does. The fact that this is better than the last Who album by about 50 miles makes me think there will never be a last rock band, and beyond that, the concept probably doesn't matter that much.

A new track from Pretty Matty finds the band in top form, delivering clean yet crunchy hook-laden power pop with trademark high energy. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 25, 2020
Three songs from this raucous New Zealand group that prove punk still has teeth and isn’t afraid to lunge and bite. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 31, 2019
Big Star, The Posies and basically the years 1993 - 1997 are terrific markers of this catchy-as-a.colorful-tennis-ball LP of monolithic guitar crunch and sing-along-y power pop. Outstanding. brantly
