SOME REVIEWS:
"JHC&T4HOTC blew onto the scene in 2006 with “Connecticut’s for Fucking,” a sublimely silly/clever joke custom-made almost solely for self-aware tri-state area NPR listeners… that just happened to be one of that year’s best singles.” - Pop Matters

"Jesus H Christ and the Four Hornsmen of the Apocalypse has a crusading horn section, some fine guitar playing, and a growing catalogue of sharply satirical power pop. - The New Yorker

Here are some records released in the past year that deserve a second listen: Jesus H Christ and the Four Hornsmen of the Apocalypse, “Jesus H Christ and the Four Hornsmen of the Apocalypse” (Jesushchristrocks.com)—This self-released album by a local eight-piece band delivers sharply satirical power pop. Risa Mickenberg sings about copulating in Connecticut, exposing one’s breasts in hot weather, and the romantic powers of psychotropics, backed by a crusading horn section and some fine guitar playing. - The New Yorker

"if you read and loved A Confederacy of Dunces or A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, this album is for you....A collection of intelligently observant and wryly amusing pop/rock/punk takes on gender politics." - Linday Ray, Tucson Weekly

"An odd blend of Sixpence None the Richer, Arcade Fire, and New Pornographers if they were all fronted by Amy Sedaris." Pop Matters

"Like NRBQ with a metallic pop edge and an expanded horn section, fronted by a singer who looks a bit like Julia Louis-Dreyfus, sounds a bit like Sarah Vowell, and writes a bit like Amy Rigby — only much nastier." -No Depression Magazine

“Their songs, which combine the dead-on working-week details and pop chops of Fountains of Wayne with the inspired silliness of an especially strong SNL skit. “ - Blurt

"Imagine that Sarah Silverman never decided that saying "fuck" and shocking people was clever, and it actually made her funnier. And then while working on Mr. Show, Jack Black played her a Tenacious D demo and she decided to steal the idea and rework it as horn-laden power pop. That's basically what we've got here, and it is fantastic.” 75 or less
