THE DELI - "MUSIC RECIPIES FROM THE BIG APPLE" - SAYS AEROVOX IS A "RARE BREED"
The Deli Magazine, a brand new "quarterly free magazine distributed in the hot spots of the NYC music scene," says to "expect big things from AeroVox in the near future":

"Some of the best bands in the New York independent rock scene barely get a mention in the Village Voice; other mediocre bands catch some quick press and are selling out Irving Plaza before you can blink. AeroVox are a rare breed in that they are quite deserving of the significant praise they have received from radio stations like Q104.3 and publications like CMJ and Neon NYC."

JENYK/DOT/COM SAYS "AN AVALANCHE OF BUZZ AND HYPE" IS SNOWBALLING FOR AEROVOX
Self proclaimed "music pimp, rock photographer," Pianos booker, Jenyk.com web-auteur Jasper Coolidge gives props to AeroVox:

"If ever there was a band with a sound that pulls off the polar sonic descriptors of smooth yet rough, it's the as yet not as heralded as they ought to be AeroVox, a local NYC band that certainly has its share of chops and pedigree and is just now gaining that snowball of notoriety that seemingly overnight explodes into an avalanche of buzz and hype."
