"New York quintet Food Will Win the War's pensive, keyboard-and-violin indie
rock alternates from precious melancholy to They Might Be Giants-inspired
quirkiness." -Wade Tatangelo, Creative Loafing 9/12/07
"Don't be fooled by it's initial softness, there is a mystical complexity to
the music of Food Will Win the War." -Chris Lehault, Free NYC 7/15/07
"Food Will Win the War plays acoustically driven Indie Rock. Their mellow
sound brings a sign of a new shift for New York based music. Featuring Becky
Hughes on violin." -Baltimore FunGuide 7/14/07
"For those who have yet to hear the alt-country stylings of Food Will Win the War, we can attest that the band plays tight, country-tinged rock, spiced with inventive tempo
and dynamic changes." -Brad Peniston, Defense News

round of applause from independent media." -Jeff Nall, Florida Today

baritone with plenty of soft guitars, percussion, keys and a lonesome violin."
-Wade Tatangelo, Creative Loafing 2/7/07
"Too cool for school." -Orlando City Beat February 2007
"Food Will Win the War has a different sound - go East Village!" -Melanie
Blythe, Uncool Kids 4/24/07
"Food Will Win the War's debut album is a genuine pleasure. It's Jim Croce meets
Mates of State with a tad bit of Dylan thrown in. In short, it's glorious." -Brian Burns, Independent Clauses 12/30/06
"Food Will Win the War is... quietly elegant... with a moody intellectual
streak." -Hank Shteamer, Time Out New York 6/13/06
"I was immediately won over by the [band] ... and singer Rob Ward's perfect
College Rock voice. This style should never die out." -Jeff Marsh, Delusions
of Adequacy 5/8/06

Herman, Radio Crystal Blue 3/19/06

the Knitting Factory, and CBGB... is riding big buzz and preparing its debut
recording for release." -Al Kemp, Midstate Living 11/16/05
"...Food Will Win the War, named after the food-rationing slogan which was
popular during World War II... blends the vocals of Ward and keyboardist Dara
Matthews [and] is evocative of such eclectic groups as Luna, Elliott Smith,
Belle & Sebastian and others." -Roger Hillis, Beachcomber 10/7/05
