“The Canadians have struck gold again with the release of the prodigiously
talented Tim Vesely’s first album with his new band, The Violet Archers.

A long-time member of the iconic Canadian band,
the Rheostatics, Vesely emerges from that eclectic and
sometimes frenetic mix to create a pop-y indie
rock project altogether gentler and more soulful.”
 
– Pure Music USA

“His voice has the ring of truth and there’s poetic insight aplenty
in these songs. Newberry has learned much already
and is an artist to watch.”
 
– Exclaim!

“Bughouse 5 has been called one of the best live acts on the West Coast.
Drawing on rockabilly, country, Tex-Mex, blues,
and whatever else it can get its hands on,
the band strikes gold on the brand new 24 Hour Charlie”
 
– Georgia Straight

“Stones, Clash or Replacements fans will dig this literate polished CD. …it’s like a tour of the seedy side of town with a guide who knows where all the bodies are buried. Rating: A “

– Toronto Star
 
 

“The songs are hypnotic, piano lulls you, the voice lures you, inviting you in to the songs, softly textured, tender, spinning around your head, cocooning you, a silky siren song.””

“All yolks aside, Chariots of Eggs offer sly
quality alongside the laughs.
Great fun. Chariots of Eggs wins our love
without ever really demanding it.”
 
– The Tyee
 

“This really is a terrific record.
He thumps out these country blues songs with such fearless zest and fire its like being transformed to another time and place.
 
An excellent record
(and one that benefits from ear bleeding volume!).
If a live show matches the intensity and power of the performances
on this collection of songs, it would be spectacularly good.”
