If you're still sleeping on Nothing But Change, WAKE UP! Get in on these jams now! The Skinny says, ""Rock that's both sloppy and strung-out, shades of Pavement and The Minutemen, with hooks that fall stumbling out of an alleyway before you realised they were coming. You don't expect a song like this to be so catchy." Also, Minnesota's St. Cloud Times had this to say about NBC, listing it as the #2 album that no one ever heard of in 2007. "The Octagon crafted an amazing second album...Songs such as “The Narrow Road To Oku” deserve a spot in every jukebox between here and Spain so people can nod along to the clever lyrics while pondering their mistakes. Check out ...“Oku,” and be prepared for love at first song."
