Reviews for The Dangerous Idiots

"This shouldn't be considered a substitute for being in the room when Dangerous Idiots hurl hard truths into the crowd via three or four solidly played chords, but the sound is engineered carefully enough to be a suitable stopgap. What's more, frontman Aaron Sarlo's lyrics cut closer to the bone than ever, as on He Who Has the Information Is the Leader: 'It's just a lack of information/There is no need to think the moon is the sun/Just waddle over to the Internet, but put on your thinking cap because there's a lot of garbage on there/And, don't get down/Don't let it get you down/You'll figure it out because we need you to.'" — The Arkansas Times

"Little Rock indie rockers, The Dangerous Idiots — Aaron Sarlo, vocals, guitar; Jake Rutherford, bass; Leewood Thomas, drums — return to the stage after a two year absence at 10pm today at the White Water Tavern. The band’s second album, the follow-up to 2011’s eponymous debut, is due soon on U.K.-based Mostar Records" — Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

"There is a sense of immediacy to Dangerous Idiots sound that perhaps makes it come off a little shallow, or even angsty. However... there is a surprising amount of lyrical depth and poignancy." — Reviewed Music

"The super catchy track is Can I Get a Role Model, a great musical vision. Yeah, I think Aaron Sarlo is the man." — Frengers Attack

"Dangerous Idiots is a blast of an album — well-crafted, catchy tunes played by veteran, professional musicians who don’t take themselves too seriously..." — Sync Weekly

"Sad merely features a guitar and vocalist Aaron Sarlo in a moment of understated beauty and innocence." — The 405

"The Dangerous Idiots have produced a record distilling all that is Rock ‘n’ Roll... but this definitely isn’t the work of idiots, it could almost be genius." — We Were Promised So Much

"It’s upbeat, it’s danceable, and you can bet that the kids will be relating to every word they hear as the form their own (yet influenced) negative views on society." — We Are Unseen

"If all their songs are as good as Less for You, a strange and sinister pop burner, this is going to be a band people talk about." — The Arkansas Times

"From the moment you hear ‘Are you tired of all the bullshit?’ that leads into their track, He Who Has the Information Is the Leader, it’s clear that this is no ordinary band, nor album. It’s more than lyrics, it’s a statement." — Chris McKay

"Dangerous Idiots plays a smouldering sound, full of distortion and acid lyrics." — Sloucher
