Sounds LikeThe Velcro Stars are one of the most interesting, original, and level-headed bands to come out of Murfreesboro in a long time. Their songs are simplistic and well arranged, and bring with them hints of Pavement, Blake Babies, and Superchunk. - (Nashvillezine.com) Murfreesboro’s Velcro Stars make catchy, head-bobbing indie rock that surely would have landed them on the Spongebath label back in the ’90s along with stylistically similar Boro band The Features, if they had been around back then. Actually, the Velcro Stars’ song Just Where My Time Goes has one of those great singalong codas that have made The Features’ shows so fun for so long. Viva la fun rock. - (The Nashville Rage) The Velcro Stars were next, and they gave us an awesome high energy performance that showed why they’re one of Murfreesboro’s best bands. Their mid-90s Chapel Hill-esque sound is clearly one of the most exciting things going on around here these days. I feel like everytime I see that band I become a bigger fan. - (Nashvillezine.com)

I agree, no fun is DEFINITELY for assholes. It was a pleasure assisting the perpetually magnanimous Shane in the judging of Murfreesboro's mustaches.
