"While Seepeoples is an anarchist political band, their message is more of hope than of destruction. Their sound, as well, is more Radiohead than Sex Pistols. They also bring to mind Portishead as much as they do the Clash, which is an example of the wide range of styles interspersed throughout, popping up where you least expect it." - Exclaim! Magazine, February 2005
"Without even hearing the albums, an angry political-charged bent can be detected. But that doesn't really capture the SeepeopleS - a group that mixes an infectious blend of pop, reggae, progressive rock, and some more electronic, trancelike ambient styles." - Charleston City Paper, May 2004
"Bizarre, captivating, ethereal, different, wild, mesmerizing, odd ... take your pick, any of these terms could be used to describe the sound of SeepeopleS." - Metronome Magazine, July 2002
"Clearly, SeepeopleS admire Radiohead, Kula Shaker and The Orb, but they also have a lot of psychedelic, British Invasion and progressive rock inspirations from the 60s and inspirations that include Pink Floyd, King Crimson, the Moody Blues and late-period Beatles. And not all of SeepeopleS' influences come from rock; there are hints of soul, funk and dubwise reggae, elements of electronica..." - AllMusicGuide.com
SeepeopleS' first album, "For the Good of the Nation" marked the union of SeepeopleS with producer Will Holland (Pixies/Devo/Fall Out Boy) and also featured Morphine sax player Dana Colley, who collaborated with the band on two of the album's tracks. Colley has since characterized a part of SeepeopleS' sound, and he reprises his role with the band (along with Holland) on their sophomore record, "The Corn Syrup Conspiracy." "Corn Syrup" also features guest appearances from Ray Davis (Parliament-Funkadelic), Tim Reynolds, and Dave Shul (Spearhead).
