"The Ames-based indie band approaches songwriting with a scattered musical mindset, switching genres and bending the traditional rules of rock music instantaneously. Perfect power pop is gleefully sabotaged, and a simply arranged horn section has some outstanding cameos. "Shot in the Face" shows the band's ability to maintain a song's emotive quality without losing an ounce of catchiness. Interesting matchups are everywhere; if Wolf Parade listened to too much Tom Petty, "Ride the Lightning" would be the result."

"The Vibe is undeniable, considering the praise PCC has been getting in the indie-pop blogosphere, it might end up giving Tapes N' Tapes a run for their money." the Onion
"very dynamic, versatile and just a little bit frightening!"

"They’ve helmed in their more reckless leanings and stand before us with the tassel flipped over to the left side of their caps, signifying a graduation of sorts into the kind of rock and roll world that they always knew was out there waiting for them."
Daytrotter
"I can only describe them as "The Replacements" meet the "Beach Boys" in a dark alley, kick the shit out of them, and now they're driving across town to shove their Skechers up Paul McCartney's ass. Howling yet intelligent lyrics, Crazy Horse guitar tones and hints of classical instruments haunt the entire collection of songs."
