| Review Excerpts: “Lots of cool stuff here, but the Band-esque gravitas of the title track, the Merseybeat-meets-Beach Boys “Nadine,” the early-Elton throwback of “Paint,” and the closing benediction of “Gateways to Grace” are all first-rate.” – Jim Musser, Iowa City Press-Citizen (click here for a full review) |

| Review Excerpts: “That Boy Again is a veritable abundance of riches everywhere you listen – both in terms of music and words. Whilst the tunes, instrumentation and arrangements are intelligent and sophisticated, the lyrics reveal Stickman to be a whimsical commentator on the things that make up our interesting world.” – Kevin Mathews, Power of Pop (full review here) “…with the release of the brand-spanking-new ‘That Boy Again,’ the band now has created two fine, homemade discs of sparkling, original pop music…Overall, ‘That Boy Again’ is a sunny mixture of ’60s folk-rock, post-Fabs power-pop, ’70s-style singer/songwriter ballads and Nuevo Wavo rockers. The lyrics range from gently sincere to self-effacing to downright whimsical, but serve mainly to give the Mullins brothers words to wrap their sweet, sibling harmonies around…’That Boy Again’ is an altogether enjoyable romp in the rec room.” – Jim Musser, Iowa City Press-Citizen ‘That Boy Again’ is full of well-crafted pop songs driven by sweet-singing drummer Stu Mullins, a guy who knows his way around a hook…Fans of clever guitar pop will find much to like here.” – John Kenyon, Cedar Rapids Gazette |

| Review Excerpts: “Remarkable songs… a terrific vocalist … wonderful harmonies… Stickman brings each song to it’s full realization regardless of boundaries.” – Claudio Sossi, Shake It Up! “The CD has a nice mix of powerful pop tunes and quieter, acoustic-based ballads, each with a catchy, lilting melody and strong harmonies” – John Kenyon, Cedar Rapids Gazette “Stickman write and perform clever and catchy guitar-based pop songs. They make Silly Putty impressions of the world, then stretch them into amusing tunes” – Steve Horowitz, ICON |
