Robert Christgau, Village Voice, 1/8/03
review of mini-ep in Robert Christgau's Village Voice Consumer Guide:
A MINUS
Product Description
Wide Right, the self-titled full-length debut album from the Brooklyn-via-Buffalo foursome is a searing rock statement about demanding bosses, obnoxious neighbors and car trips with the kids. Through her superior songwriting Leah Archibald chronicles a wide gamut of rust belt experiences, ranging from the tale of a hopeless also-ran whom fame and fortune left behind (Pete Best) to the beat cop looking for a place to have a beer and warm up (Keeping the Peace) to describing the sheer joy of drinking cheap beer with your best friend at a neighborhood lawn fete (Firemen’s Fair). Songs range from infectious power pop (Keeping the Peace) to flat-out rock (13 Days) to garage (Kryptonite); all woven together by Archibald’s strong, warm voice and confident delivery and attitude. Supported by band mates Dave Rick on lead guitar (King Missile, Bongwater, Phantom Tollbooth), Brendan O’Malley on drums (Love Child) and Erica Stoltz on bass (Lost Goat, Amber Asylum) Wide Right realizes Archibald’s songs with a propulsive beat driving classic Gibson/Marshall guitar crunch.
Wide Right has recorded with Detroit garage-rock impresario Jim Diamond (White Stripes, Mooney Suzuki, Dirtbombs) at his legendary Detroit studio, Ghetto Recorders. Their self-released ep (featuring Diamond on bass) received accolades including an A minus in Robert Christgau’s Consumer Guide and inclusion on Christgau’s "Best of 2002" list in the Village Voice Pazz and Jop Poll.

Wide Right Rocks!!!!!!!!,
By Steve Victory (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wide Right (Audio CD)
This is one of the best albums I have heard in years. If Rock and Roll survives the 21st century, it will be because of bands like Wide Right and songwriters like Leah Archibald.
