​​Real Gone Rocks Review:  There Was Lightning - 9/8/15   ​

"Las Vegas based quartet Trevor and The Joneses care not for fashion...drawing influence as it does from over three decades of rock – the band have developed a surprisingly confident style.  The song writing and arrangements are prone to taking an odd turn, and clearly nothing is off limits...It all makes more sense when you actually hear it...  (link to full article)

National Album Reviews:  There Was Lightning   -  Nick Kuzmack, SLUG Magazine 4/3/14

​There Was Lightning album review   -  Tim Whale, Emerging Indie Bands 1/28/14

"...deliver their sharply defined music, which, even on down-tempo kick the shins with the deep registers of bass and percussion.  Blending in a variety of influences there is a slightly psychedelic feel to the material, which seems somewhat at odds to the comments of infusions of energy that the band inject into the audience, but the echoing guitars in these instances form a focus for attention rather than a backdrop for hallucination as Trevor And The Joneses keep the moments driving forward..."       (link to full article)

​There Was Lightning album review   -   Jeff Penczak, It's Psychedelic Baby Magazine 12/13/13

"Screaming guitar solos, spoken/shouted vocals, and a wicked sense of humor drip from every tune...frying brain cells, hair follicles, and the odd pacemaker along the way...you can be sure that “lightning” they speak of is probably white and of the liquid variety!"      (link to full article)

​There Was Lightning album review    -   MW, Music Morsels 6/18/13

"...rhythms like a herd of buffalo stampeding through a 4 inch drainage pipe. That is the sort of power these guys unleash here, and they are top-notch songwriters as well. The lyrics are simple but thoughtful, and the songs catch your ear not just for the musical intensity, but the craft that went into creating them..."
​"a mean machine of seething, V-12 fueled rock that not only does not pull punches, it hits with the force of a Bowery brawl on a simmering summer evening...."  (link to full article)

​Concert Review     -     Ashley Gates, Vegas Seven Magazine 3/5/13

 "...an up-and-coming psychedelic rock group with a knack for grunge-laden guitar chords and explosive punk beats...the group already has the potential to be the next wave to hit the shores of obscure and respected indie rockers.   ★★★★"

​There Was Lightning album review   -   Benjamin Ray,  The Daily Vault 2/22/13

"...the music is free of pretension. It’s fun, introspective, and always engaging.throws a couple of curveballs into the garage rock mix, namely a) a tambourine player and b) two 12-string guitars, which are played more for fullness of sound than any sort of Byrds folk-rock revival. The music is garage rock with a healthy dose of Britpop and psychedelia; think Pavement with a combination Liam Gallagher/ Iggy Pop singing, and you’ll get the general idea."         ​(full article)

​TREVOR AND THE JONESES END CHROME WEREWOLF STUDIO’S RUN ON A HIGH NOTE   -   Leslie Ventura, Las Vegas Weekly 2/6/13

"The record is loaded with psychedelic grit and visceral guitars, exploding from its opener, “Dig This!,” to its final track, “Superslow.”  (full article)

​There Was Lightning album review   -   Jarret Keene, Vegas Seven 1/31/13

★★★★ Most bands working in the psychedelic tradition sound alike, as if cribbing the same records. However, this Vegas group sonically acknowledges owning a Flaming Lips disc. In opener “Dig This,” frontman Trevor Jones boasts about being odd rocker out: If that’s what passes for music/Well, then dig this. Recorded at Brian Garth’s now-defunct Chrome Werewolf studio, Lightning strikes hard, fast, delivering 10 loose, melodic tracks. “Grooving at the Speed of Light” will reaffirm your love of music.  ​(full article)

​From beach to garage: Trevor and The Joneses will blow your brains out - Max Plenke, Las Vegas Citylife 1/31/13

"Praise Jesus 12-String Christ for the fury and temerity of nasty, grimy, paisley-printed rock ’n’ roll. The kind of garage rock that Trevor and The Joneses play unabashedly, unpoetically, almost rudely if it weren’t so goddamn inspiring, the kind of rock ’n’ roll that makes you feel jacked up, not offended on the sonic level...Lightning is a testament to its own genre, a commentary as much as a proclamation..."  (full article)

​Concert Review    -    Carline Lew, Examiner   9/17/12

"Trevor and the Joneses, is scheduled to release a new album in about two months, its all done but the final gloss over and distribution. Have to say, this was a very dynamic band, playing their original renditions during their set, with people loving them. Their playing style was probably best described by some fuck-face at a bar as "Acid Rock for right NOW. Not from the sixties or 70's, but for right now, this time...this era.". Quite a compliment, and well deserved."  (full article)

​Meet New Vegas Band Trevor and The Joneses    -   Leslie Ventura,  Las Vegas Weekly  4/11/12

Your drummer has to cancel last minute, you can’t hear anything through the monitor and you smashed a finger two nights before your show. What’s a musician to do? Drink whiskey, of course.
​

That actually wasn’t a cure-all for Trevor—of new local band Trevor and the Joneses—at his band’s Neon Venus show this past Saturday. But liquor did help the lead singer ease into his flippant, psychedelic-punk persona. And Vegas could use some more of that. The set started out slow—the small Downtown art theater’s 50-seat venue stayed shy of 15 heads most of the night—but after a short intermission to numb the wound, Jones returned with newfound moxie. His Lou Reed-meets-Pete Shelley impression in full-force, original song “Sneak,” Black Rebel Motorcycle Club’s “666 Conducer” and The Mighty Lemon Drops’ “Inside Out” showed off some definite potential.  ​(link to article)
