"With Stars for Anyone, The Boneless Children Foundation has created a massive

album that swerves and boogies with classic rock n' roll riffs and delightfully

quirky and engaging lyrics. The songs overflow with ideas, while musical passages

are juxtaposed in a way that suggests the giddiness of a band like Sparks.

...[David Siegel is] a reckless lead vocalist who shouts, croons, pleads,

and sings over the carefully crafted music with such emotion that you can't help

but listen to what he's trying to say."

— Jeff Bissell, Wiretap Music

"Wildly near-psychedelic indie rock ... Cute and endearing ... Good energy ...

People do like their cars."

— Hybrid Magazine

"If you like fun, sloppy, sometimes kinda poignant-sounding power pop, look no

further than San Francisco’s The Boneless Children Foundation."

— Synthesis Magazine Blog

"Stars for Anyone features extremely cool, unpredictable stream-of-consciousness

rock with a difference. In the age of everyone-sounds-the-same and/or technology-

drives-the-sound...the guys in The Boneless Children Foundation play refreshingly

real artsy rock and roll. [...] Stars for Anyone is a refreshing reminder that

there are some truly creative bands lurking underneath the surface."

"Go, be rocked [by the Boneless Children Foundation]."

— Rudolph Delson, NEW YORK TIMES Paper Cuts 'Living With Music' Blog,

    Rudy is the author of the wonderful novel .

Discussing our CD: "The leadoff title track is a sprawling

garage-pop epic that comes out firing. Chaotic guitar and drum churn

through the song's three minutes and twenty-two seconds, creating a

perfect combination of noise and rock catchiness."

- Jer, Three Imaginary Girls

"Kind of like No Doubt before they sold 10,000,000 records and began to doubt their

sound. No (thankfully) Gwen here, but perhaps a similar sense of controlled confusion

and kinetic energy. A tight three-piece that I am sure deliver a great live show with

much unpredictableness."

(Additionally, "What a bunch of high school kids. ... [I]t's a sick name that means nothing."

— Freddy Jisp, Left Hip Magazine

"A mix of poetry, punk, glam rock – they know how to put on a good show."

— Una LaMarche, Black Book Online

"Don't worry about sending money: These three guys have all the bones they

need. They make a plenty-noisy punk-rock racket, tempered by humor and just

the right touch of melody.”

— Nate Seltenreich, The East Bay Express

"The title track from Boneless Children Foundation’s brand new album Stars

for Anyone is a wonderful slice of indie rock."

— The Bay Bridged

"You'd listen to Boneless Children Foundation on big old headphones

at an American laundromat in a cool inner-city neighbourhood, while

wearing sneakers and op-shop clothes, dancing stupidly around the driers.

It's that sort of ironic indie post-punk extravaganza, so it's fitting

that they've been garnering buzz via college radio stations."

— Jennifer, We Heart Music Blog

"... apt and off-kilter ... some very exciting music ... ."

— Pat Craig, The Contra Costa Times

"... notoriously Dead Milkmen-esque ..."

— Hiya Swanhuyser, The SF Weekly

"The Boneless Children Foundations new CD "Stars For Anyone" is a throwback

to a time when humor in music mattered. BCF writes catchy lyrics, engaging

melodies and if sex appeal were sound the whole bay area would be deaf."

— Paco Romane, of pacoromane.com and Free Dirt Media.

"A poor man's Rush."
