about

"Channeling influences as disparate as early The Who, Camper Van Beethoven and Nick Cave into a sound that's equal parts Americana and Rock'n'Roll, in their new album "Octopus" New Jersey's Big Wilson River have crafted an in your face rootsy sound that's as entertaining as it is intriguing"
-NYC Deli Magazine

"It's folk rock for people who like mosh pits. It's really, really good too."
-Jim Testa, JerseyBeat.com

"Big Wilson River makes me long for early indie rock, back when it was more rambunctious. With ‘Octopus’ I’m convinced that someday we’ll have that 90s rock revival. It gives me hope that perhaps other bands will mine this more immediate sound, rejecting the icy coldness of 80s revivalism."
-Beach Sloth (beachsloth.blogspot.com)

"...it offers a new approach to Americana, you might call it a sort of urban folk mythology."
-FrostClick.com
