"These indie-Brit power-poppers have a knack for jangly pop that runs the
gamut from The Ropers ('Paul loves Derek'), Teenage Fanclub ('Dumb'), early
Sloan ('Sunny') and even Eugenius ('Year of the Monkee' which cops a few
lines from The Replacements 'Talent Show'). While 'Get A Grip' finds Semion
cutting their teeth on all the aforementioned, it's pretty apparent the band
has yet to grow into a fully distinctive sound that they can claim as their
own. Still, with what they've already got, they're off to a damn fine start."
