- (Metronome Magazine/August 2011) "The brothers Lindgren: Roby, Ryan and Ry'al return with an all new rock and roll band along with singer/guitarist Greg Fowler cleverly titled Crimes In Graceland. Whether or not they're trying to emulate or diminish the influence Elvis had on rock & roll, the power-rocking quartet makes it clear that they're here for one thing and one thing only; to rock! Make sure to check out the witty "Living Suicide," the post punk banter of "Bill Collector," the lyrically busy "Juvenile Man" and the manic craze of "Funny Farm." (Doug Sloan)

- (Northeast Performer/ November 2006) "Crimes in Graceland are baddass, they dress in black, they play songs with titles like "Sobriety Sucks" and "Marry a Bitch". "Musically the primary reference points are '70s arena rock (KISS, Van Halen) with older brother Roby Lindgren, obviously the Gene Simmons to Ry'al's Paul Stanley, with a little punk and country thrown in to mix things up." "Three Ring Circus's closer a country tune called "Don't Love ya" shows them loosening up a bit, and it happens to be the best track on the album". (Brett Cromwell)
- (Metronome magazine /july 2006) "The Lindgren brothers have become well known on the New Hampshire music scene for their individual involvement with numerous rock acts over the years, so it's only fitting that Ry'al Ryan and Roby finally join forces to form their own band, cleverly coined, Crimes In Graceland. After just one listen,you quickly surmise that their music is anything but what Elvis would, or could, offer up. Instead what the Lindgrens serve listeners is cranked-out guitars,forceful vocals and biting riffs that permeate track after track of "Three Ring Circus". There's no mistaking that this family of brothers are a proud, rockin' bunch that loves to wake the neighbors. Best tracks include the album opener "Matter of Time","Sobriety Sucks","Half Hour Man" and the comedic country twang of "Don't love Ya". (Doug Sloan)
- ( The Noise, Boston Ma / july2006) "This is the best cd I've ever listened to in my life", "thankfully, we have this beautiful music to listen to in our woes" (mrs. Slimedog)
- (TAXI the worlds leading independent A&R company / April 2006) "has a traditional hard rock sound", "has some big hooks", "I like the interplay between the two vocalists" , "CRIMES IN GRACELAND have a great cohesive rock sound & should expect some success" (Clint McBay)
