"[A] heart-pounding rocker … all of the riffs are stellar." Pitchfork (8.0) "[T]he Jet Age manages to mix the hyper jangle of the Wedding Present with the cruise-control melodies of Swervedriver and the heaven-scraping majesty of the Who circa 1970." The Onion (Austin), recommended "[T]he Jet Age have crafted a concept album that would make Pete Townshend smash his guitar in a jealous rage. What Did You Do During the War, Daddy? is a scathing polemic on the current state of affairs in American politics, but more importantly, it's punky power-pop, loaded with energy, aggression, tons of melody, and not an ounce of fat." The Portland Mercury (pick for the week) The Jet Age are an incredible power trio who play with the same kind of revolutionary angst that made bands like The Replacements and The Wipers so powerful in their day." The Run-Off Groove "[T]he band is spot on when it comes to delectable power pop that has scads of guitar-driven rock riffs embedded deep within it… The consistency here is what makes The Jet Age soar." PopMatters "Compelling in its convictions and streamlined in its storytelling, What Did You Do is just the sort of album Ted Leo ought to be making." Pitchfork (Forkcast) "A 35-minute emotional rush that wisely avoids referencing and specific politician or political event, WDYDDTWD? reels and swirls with emotion and sinister foreboding. It's a gamble and a half, but one that's already paid off." The Onion (Bay Area) "Churning up the sophisticated punk of The Minutemen and Husker Du, the slacker cool of Dinosaur Jr, the sweaty R&B of The Who and the shoegazing guitar dynamics of Swervedriver the Jet Age produce a powerful concoction that'll fracture your eardrums." The Devil Has the Best Tuna "There is more than a little Pete Townsend and Ray Davies in the Jet Age's auteur Eric Tischler. His band's new conceptual album is a direct descendant of Tommy and Quadrophrenia with Who/Kinks-influenced songs that slot into a three-act rock-opera format. The narrative is complex but any whiff of pretentiousness is squashed by the trio's frantic energy and raw power-pop attack." Creative Loafing "Eric Tischler takes you through the paces of emotion with his politically charged lyrics, alternating between smooth shoegazer and heavy, classic rock style guitar licks." Seattle Weekly "Tischler poses controversial questions on Daddy? while simultaneously turning out a compellingly stripped down and satisfying indie rock record." Blurt (8/10) "The brashness of the performances, powered by Pete Nuwayser's energetic drumming and Tischler's own guitars and keyboards, recalls a fired-up blend of the Jam circa Setting Sons, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, and of course, Tischler's beloved Who." Allmusic Guide (album pick) "The D.C.-based band draws from the post-grunge inspiration of Sugar and Bob Mould while exploring challenging rhythms like the gleefully erratic Dismemberment Plan [via] vivid songwriting." Spin (Artist of the Day) "The rumblings from each beat and circling strings are belligerently brilliant." Pensatos
