"I really love their style which is a blend of rock, pop, and alternative. They are a hard working band that have been bringing their energetic sets to the scene for some time now, travelling across country with tours and connecting with fans. It is time that this band gets the recognition they deserve for their emotionally driven rock sound."

"Today being the perfect day for love, Pullman Standard released their new video for their song, “Crazy Love” and I absolutely LOVE IT! The flirty song is the perfect uptempo alternative rock love song that will have you thinking of everything from your first crush, first kiss, first crazy love and everything in between."

"I didn’t know about the awards or the number of gigs when I first listened. It was the soaring choruses that grabbed me, along with the intelligent lyrics. Not quite arena rock, not quite pop, but definitely addictive, they are the kind of band to you listen to, and then listen to again, and then put them in your top playlist and keep listening because each time you hear something different."

"Pullman Standard are exactly the kind of band we love to feature on Punk Nation. They work hard, make great music, and are passionate about what they do."

"When asked if he thought that the association with Gaga in any way diminished their rock ‘n’ roll street cred, Timmy answered: 'At the end of the day even an artist has bills to pay, so if working with somebody who worked with one of the most successful pop acts of this century so far comes across as un-rock ‘n’ roll then so be it, but I dare anyone to walk a mile in my shoes and not understand that the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll is what I live and breathe.' In the broad, glittering spectrum of pop music, Pullman Standard’s music occupies a space somewhere in between the emotional heart-throb of Matchbox Twenty and the gritty, bombastic glamour of My Chemical Romance."

~ George Clarke - the Vermilion (Lafayette LA)

"Rock duets though have an edge that you just don’t get from any other genre. They are fragile pieces of work that can easily be ruined by a weaker voice or not being skilfully backed by the band. There’s no hint of this in Alley Cat. It could just have that little bit extra in it that helps open up the doors to a wider fanbase for Pullman Standard."

"Crazy Love is a hit record."

“The band is known for their newsies image and hand made vintage props on stage, including an old- school gas street lamp, carnival lights, and wooden painted signs... Their current EP Midnight Matinee, pulls in many influences across the board from Panic! at the Disco, The Smiths and The Doors. An equilibrium of both modern power pop with the essence of classic raw garage sounds.”

“Pullman Standard exemplifies the resilient and persistent qualities of independent rock bands... Pulling from both rock and pop of all eras, Pullman Standard is able to bring us a truly vintage indie/alternative rock style while maintaining a high quality standard of music.”
- Ford Motors Gimmie The Gig
(April 06, 2012)


“The result being Pullman Standard and with a new E.P being released in February 2014, they continue along the path they have chosen with complete conviction.... This, in our humble opinion, is the mark of a real band.... On Alley Cat, Tru Collins joins Timothy on vocals, creating a dynamic duet that is full of energy. A good duet has the ability transcend genres.”
