“I like the sound and the way he is forcing the world to contend with him.” -Brian Ritchie, Violent Femmes
“Newski rocks in the grand tradition of Billy Bragg (and, more recently, Frank Turner), blending the sound of driving folk into songs that have the spirit (and occasionally the sound) of punk. -AV Club
“Newski’s solid Midwestern roots anchor songs with super catchy melodies and melancholy lyrics with subtle wit.” -Guitar World
“Loudest acoustic act ever.” -Eon Hare, Daytrotter Engineer
