"Big-hearted woman from Seattle makes big-hearted tribute record to dad full of big-hearted power chords and open-throated vocals, catchy hooks and riffs, and poignant lyrics that put the following to shame: Neko Case, Belinda Carlisle, Heart… The Runaways. Impossible not to hear without major obstructions forming in the throat. Everything is major key." Everett True
"If its possible to top their excellent debut, Visqueen has done just that. The long awaited third album from one of Seattle's best bands shows a ton of growth with even catchier songs and really tight songwriting. Every song is a single. One of the best records of the year." John Richards, the Morning Show, KEXP
"...the new release I am most excited about, Visqueen's Message To Garcia." Brooklyn Vegan
"With the bravado of Cheap Trick and the she-swagger of Kim Deal/Pat Benatar/Ann
Wilson, frontwoman Rachel Flotard's hooks land with precise potency. As if the track wasn't venomous enough, add in a cameo from Neko Case and it's game over." the Buddha Den
"Message to Garcia, the new album, is due at midnight and it's easily the most refreshing pop-punk disc I've heard all year. Sorry, Green Day." Ernest Jasmin, Tacoma News Tribune
There can never be too much gritty power-pop, of the kind that requires you to play the song 15 times in a row while the melody burrows deeper and deeper into your cerebellum. That’s exactly what Visqueen delivers on the band’s latest, “Message to Garcia.” Kristy Cameron, Listen Dammit
“'Hand Me Down' is a pop rock song, but it’s the good kind of pop rock: more rock than pop and with a chorus that reminds me a lot of Cheap Trick." Licorice Pizza
