Bio / Background
"Alligators in the Lobby starts out on a punchy, melodic high, finishes in a sparse, achingly beautiful whisper, and is inventive, memorable, and rock solid smart everywhere in between. There's nothing not to like here...that rarest of albums that shimmer and sparkle from start to finish and showcases an embarrasment of riches, chief among which are the ten finely wrought, skillfully crafted songs by John Hermanson...Too many candidates for "best song" but the closing combination of "Alva Star" and "Girlfriend" is as strong a one-two heartfelt knockout punch as anything heard in some time."
-Amplifier Magazine
"John Hermanson's new group may be the next significant Twin Cities pop band. Smart, catchy, sweet and timeless."
- Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Alva Star's music is rock, to put it bluntly, and atmospheric-pop-rock leaning towards emocore, to dress it in industry terms. But at its heart, its music is something much more poignant and unique.
