"The Pleasures have just released their 13
song debut CD -- and what a pleasure it is!
... a sound that is gutsy, smart, raw, and
strangely melodic ... with subtle hooks,
smart lyrics and catchy vocals that keep you
wanting more." GOOD TIMES MAGAZINE
"[Y]ou'll be surprised by the serrated, punky
rock of this ragged, rewarding trio, led by
fire-breathing vocalist/guitarist Jeanne
Sinclair. ... There's a bit of Rilo Kiley
coquettishness to Sinclair's style, but the
raging bass and drums -- and stream-of-
consciousness lyrics -- obliterate anything
approaching cuddly indie-pop." FORT WORTH
STAR-TELEGRAM
"The Pleasures' visceral art-punk is more
philosophy than raunch" AUSTIN CHRONICLE
"This trash rock trio wraps their cotton
candy around concrete and lobs it at your
head. .... worth checking out." CULTURE
BUNKER
"White Stripes, No Doubt and Letters to Cleo
wrapped up into one" DAILY NORTH TEXAN
“fast, galloping stuff, born of punk’s fury
and biting political overtones … from a
breathy whisper into a howl of heartbreak"
-Big Bend Sentinel
“smarmy female vocals join up with f#!*able
guitars in a dangerous chemical reaction. ...
The trio rocks out with high energy"
-Smother Magazine
Though it's highly unlikely that Bo Diddley
ever hung out with Sid Vicious, their ghosts
share the room when Marfa, Texas, outfit The
Pleasures of Merely Circulating plug in their
amps....their sound, kinetic, freewheeling,
loud, and a little bit dangerous...a pleasure
to the ears." -- LOCAL IQ
