			May 13, 2009: Boston Band Crush Show Review Crush: Von Iva, Sick of Sarah, and Aloud at T.T. The Bear's Place Live Review "Pound-your-foot pop rock Aloud kicked off the show with Jen de la Osa and Henry Beguiristain trading powerhouse vocals as the hometown heroes. ...They played together with obvious ease, with the understanding of two musicians who have known one another a very long time. Aloud's songs are sometimes rock and roll, sometimes bluesy and soulful, and other times very nearly new wave. The credit comes from the way in which they comfortably play each song." Read more... April 1, 2009: Pilgrims of Sound All Things Aloud Article "Aloud is, through all the experiment, mood swings, and live shows, a rock band by the Webster’s definition. Their trick is that they’re aware of where and when they are and embrace the warts as well as the gold of the times. They are a statement that through all the bells and whistles at work on music, the heart of American youth remains in the 4 piece, verse-chorus-verse, kids in their mom’s basement and under furbished practice space, rock and roll ideology." Read more... March 13, 2009: The Wire Aloud at the Muddy River, March 5, 2009 Live Review "The four band members demonstrate striking chemistry onstage. Beguiristain occasionally sidles up to Osa to sing into the same microphone, and the pair often meet center-stage to play guitar face to face.… The music is raw rock with a hard punk edge to certain tunes, all rooted around a classic Americana core."

February 12, 2009: The Post and Courier: Preview Preview & Interview "The brainchild of lead guitarist Henry Beguiristain and Jen de La Osa, the band combines two voices for triumphant harmonies. Individually, each singer brings something different to the table. De La Osa's deep, almost Joplin-like voice adds thickness to the songs, while Beguiristain's vocals steadies the John Lennon-inspired tracks." Read more...

Preview & Interview "Aloud knows you like to watch... the local rock band is augmenting its live show with interactive visuals... Carr and the band work to create an Orwellian drama using today’s culture of 24-hour news channels, YouTube awareness, camera phones and prime-time reality shows." Read more... October 8, 2008: The Signal Aloud vocal on social, political issues Live Review "Aloud creates music for a reason, intending to end poverty and encourage people to stand up for political change.

June 1, 2008: The Noise Aloud: Fan The Fury Album review "The band’s supporters generally focus on Jen de la Osa and Henry Beguiristain’s vocals, but it’s their shimmering guitar work that gives their voices a platform from which to explode." Read more... May 29, 2008: Revolt Media Aloud: Fan The Fury (4/5 stars) Album review "Aloud brings a strong formula of smart, powerful indie-rock that ranges from slow ballad 'Hard Up In The 2000s' all the way to the pulsing garage-rock tune 'When The Ants Attack The Queen.'" Read more... May 28 , 2008: Claremont Eagle Times/Algorhythms Aloud - You'll Either Love It Or Hate It Album review "The second album from Boston quartet Aloud [is] packed with twentysomething rage, but it also brims with flourishes and crescendos...There’s not much middle ground, and that’s a good thing."
