"Slow, deliberate and darkly passionate..." - Punk Planet

"Letterbox features all the hallmarks of the emo sound: the approach is moody, the dynamics extreme, and the lyrics painfully honest. Song titles like 'Nineveh' and 'Glutton For Tragedy' show that the band also possesses a poetic sensibility. The album's first track 'Round 13' commands the listener's attention with an attack slightly reminiscent of early Social Distortion. "Blindspot" continues the favorable impression with a six-eight groove seemingly borrowed from Weezer's depressed twin brother. This is a great album..." - Pitchfork

"Damn near untouchable rock and roll blasted out from battered amps. Mighty and infectious..the business." - Kerrang

"Angry, melodic and powerful although they occasionally do let up. Brandtson are gonna be THE biggest..." - Fracture

"There are some bands that play with your heart and soul like if you're a toy doll that can't offer resistance to anything. To me Brandtson is such a band and just grabs you emotionally without any problems. You can try to resist, but it's a fact that you will succumb under the emotional pressure of the hypnotizing emo-pop-rock tunes and the magnificent harmonious interaction of the voices of Jared Jolley (drums, vocals) and Myk Porter (guitar, vocals). Their voices are dragging you along to dreamy dimensions of sadness and joy. It's amazing how a band can make you absorb in their passionate and varying post-hardcore music. I would consider Brandtson a band that you don't listen to, you experience it. Don't offer resistance, try to figure this music out and enjoy the emotional flow." - Nightwork

"A maelstrom of dense, tight emo with fire and real darkness. Brandtson can bash out a righteous wall of noise." - Magnet

"Brandtson's 'Blindspot' is the best love song I have ever heard, hands down" - Salt For Slugs

"Deep Elm has a knack for picking up rad emo-oriented bands...add Brandtson to the list. Easily one of the best new bands in any genre. Arising from the dissolution of Sixfeetdeep, Brandtson plays some fab emo-power pop. It's not light, but it's got hooks that will sink into you and hold you tight. Easily one of the best news bands, in any genre, Brandtson doesn't dink around. They've got great, hard driving guitars with some wicked rhythms. And the doubled-up harmonies are pure bliss. The lyrics deal with some tough things, but they're not pretentious. Strictly real. 'Round 13,' 'Days End' and 'Nineveh' are standouts on Letterbox. As well, 'Words For You' is sensational love song that will make your girlfriend cry. You undoubtedly need this. Especially you emo kids. " - Building Adam

"Oil tanker-sized guitar riffs, harmonic chemistry and memorable melodies, Brandtson is on to something quite good." - CMJ
