“Blastronaut still stands as the best album you’ve never heard. If the Foo Fighters wrote this album the world would be wanking in the streets.” –

“Blastronaut was a keystone album in mid‐90’s Turbo circles. The masterful songwriting and glammyness struck home with us.” – “Happy Tom” of Turbonegro

“…the second‐best rock album of the nineties, better than Nevermind ...” – S.L. Duff, Lost in the Grooves, 2005

“The glam‐bastard offspring of David Bowie, , Mick Ronson, and Iggy Pop, LHOB singer Zowie Fenderblast wrangles his trio through another dozen songs about sex, drugs, rock’n’roll, and, er, space travel... may induce you to grow out your buzz cut and enjoy life again .” – Magnet, 1996

“Lee Harvey Oswald Band’s swan song… a true stomper – at a particularly rock‐hostile moment in time. Combining the fashion sense of the , the vocal style of alien‐era David Bowie, and some grinding guitar work a la Johnny Thunders, Blastronaut rocks out from the opening notes until the final fade out.” – AllMusic, 4 stars

“Pure teenage pants‐dropping perversity… Zowie Fenderblast and company, a trio, have that ‘We don’t give a shit’ attitude that is so important when it comes to naked, throbbing .” ‐ Flagpole Magazine, 1996

“…arguably, the record of the year…” – Rip Magazine, 1996
