"Musically, Kevin Wiggins and Snacks have got it going on: seemingly at will, and most likely in their own suburban basement, they're able to conjure ten different flavors of bubblegum, from Jackson Five funk to Elvis Costello power pop. The arrangements are inventive, the playing is tight and their love for 20 years of radio rock is evident and infectious."

- Splendid Magazine



"Snacks music is wonderfully out of time...sagely ageless. It has a sense of a summer day, drinking cider watching cricket on the Village green. In the 70's. While wearing floaty cotton shirts."

- C. Penfold



"Listening to 'United Nations of Snacks' took me off to a mental place where I'm still 15 and life is stretching out in front of me like an endless chip n' putt course on a sweet summer eve.

Snacks has a spooky ability (shared with the likes of Elvis Costello, Joe Pernice, and Brian Wilson) of writing the effortless-sounding pop song."

- Joe Gangemi, author of Inamorata



"Songs like these don't just pop out of one's head, although if they did we'd all be Goffin and King. What the Snacks chefs have done is marry the seventies soft pop aesthetic to a slightly edgy percussion base, where edgy isn't anything stronger than a light breeze striking a leaf with a half-hearted gust. These aren't dance tunes, but they are head-bobbers and toe-tappers and they'll put a smile on your face, and they are very, very good."

United Nations of Snacks rocked WVIA DJ George Grahm's"Best of 2005" list.



"Stop and think for a moment if you will and imagine Randy Newman, Elvis Costello and Billy Preston are taking the place of the lion, the scarecrow, and the tin man in the "Wizard of Oz." Okay, now the scene switches to when they are with Dorothy traveling along the yellow brick road, suddenly they ditch her because she doesn't rock out like they do, eventually they find the poppy fields just before the entrance of the castle and get wasted on the opium vapors and begin to jam…what a story huh?

The band Snacks is similar to that scenario, and the same kind of feeling and changing of roles with characters (or musicians) applies to their bouncy music. It's catchy as hell and hard not to like, anyone from ages 8-80 could cut a rug to their tunes. Their goal seems clear as a bell…have fun and play music that makes people smile. There are not too many people making music like this today."

- Music Dish Magazine



"SNACKS! A rare compound of unforgettable pop melodies and hooks delivered through an eclectic filter. Like The Attractions backing Genesis-era Peter Gabriel."

-John F.



"Kevin Wiggins and Snacks craft a classic take on pop/rock, ranging from white boy R&B to early Billy Joel piano rock to trippy, retro synth rock. Their love of the Beatles and oddball independence make Snacks a solid, quirky, band in the spirit of ELO."

- All Music Guide



"Snacks is the soundtrack to a Saturday spent by one's self, doing the fun things that one rarely gets to do, and feeling the freedom of one's childhood while doing them."

- The Onceler



"Snacks music is a sweet confection that blends the best of XTC, Genesis, and '70s TV cartoon themes and still manages to be good for your health. There is honestly nothing like it out there. The complexity of the song structures and chord progressions keep it from being lightweight, yet it all rolls off your ear like syrup."

- Big Shout Magazine



Snacks was the feature DIY review in the December issue of Performing Songwriter Magazine, which had Dave Matthews on the cover and a stellar review of Snacks' music within.



"Beautifully Crafted Pure AM Radio Pop Gold. 10cc, Wings, The Monkees, and Hall & Oates meet Phil "Buster" Collins inside a lava lamp!"

- R. Dog Woggins



"Nothing is seemingly cool about Kevin Wiggins and Snacks' love for unyielding pop hooks and dramatic theatrics. Too bad they write such damn good, addictively catchy pop songs."

-Action Man Magazine



"The snacks sound is the caliope of the merry-go-round at some fictitious county's fair in the land of make-believe, which bears a remarkable resemblance to an unblemished English countryside on a sunny spring day."
