Selected Reviews
All the historical spirit of old-time traditional music resonates within this talented, fun duo...There are lots of indirect descendants [of old-time music], and Nesrallah and Pool are terrific examples of that.
- Penguin Eggs
Not since the New Lost City Ramblers has an old-time band understood the wide, wide styles that inform the old songs. Their attention to old vocal styles and how they complement the instrumentation is particularly amazing. A must-have at your festival.
- Matt Large (Montreal Folkfest, Folk Music Canada)
This music would appeal to fans of Stan Rogers to Appalachian stringband music through to Pokey Lafarge. They are rootsy; Folk mixed with a large measure of the sounds of the South...The Noisy Locomotive are old school and beyond that they have that classic southern relaxed attitude on stage...These guys are talented and knowledgeable about the music they play and the styles they employ, explaining their origins in between songs. They sing gorgeous harmonies together adding to the sonic cohesion of their compositions. They also switch instruments several times throughout their set. Overall the band was calm, precise and moreover a breath of fresh air, which is ironic considering how old the music is that they play.

Ces musiciens possèdent un art précis, celui de faire renaitre des airs d’autrefois, ceux du vrai style old-time...Musiciens chevronnés et dotés des mêmes talents d’antan, ils nous rappellent la débauche d’un de ces fameux partys de cuisine dont nous sommes restés nostalgiques.
- Apt 613 / Basement 819
...at the Ottawa Folk Fest, The Noisy Locomotive was able to command the audience with a grace only capable of the most confident musicians. Their commitment to the relaxed atmosphere of the kitchen parties of Canada's yesteryear is impressive.
- FOLK it ALL
...un nouveau groupe folk qui sonne bien plus vieux que ses deux ans et demi laisseraient soupçonner...En préservant la musique d’antan d’une main et en la créant de l’autre, The Noisy Locomotive est un groupe qui en a long de ferraille, autant dans le passé qu’a l’avenir.
- La Rotonde
...a band that was borne from fresh air and moonlight. They are masters of that fresh, summer, old-time sound. It reminds me of square dancing at summer camp...
- Ear To The Ground Music
The band sat around one communal mic and with an instrument each, gave the feeling of an old-time kitchen party. The boys play toe-tapping, oak-bar fermented music, and they do it very well.
