MAKESHIFT MONSTER reviews
Alternative Addiction
“ 18th & Addison are a great duo that make music that anyone who likes anything close to the rock genre can get into.” Ryan Jones
http://www.alternativeaddiction.com/Review/1567
Amps and Green Screens
"Overall Makeshift Monster is a fun album that should please fans of alternative rock and pop from 20 years ago as well as the modern sounds of today. This duo has a ton of talent and they’re no doubt going places. There’s something for everyone here, so be sure and give 18th & ADDISON a go sometime soon, hmmm? You’ll be glad you did!” Damian J. Cousins

Edinboro Now
“18th & Addison has the potential to be big. Sporting dual vocals from Kait DiBenedetto and Tom Kunzman, the two have more than enough to compete in today’s ever- growing alternative scene.” Kimberly Firestine

Infectious Magazine
“Overall, this album is a lot of fun for any pop-rock lover, feature tracks that you can’t pass up would be “My Old Skirt”, “Postcards” and the beautiful closer “Under The Water”. “ Kerry Uram

New Noise Magazine
“ Makeshift Monster is self-released and completely worthy to be on a major label. This album and this band are well worth getting to know really well.” Jen Canipe

Rock Revolt Magazine
"The lyrics are relative, thoughtful, and beautifully written." Summer Jones Wait

"'Moving Mountains" is catchy and bright even though the song's subject matter details a one-sided relationship, and that's the deal with many of the songs here." Kevin Wierzbicki

Side Stage Magazine
"18th & Addison offers a distinctive sound that’s sure to please the masses." Jennifer Burch

"18th & Addison's release of their album Makeshift Monster let out emotional honesty in earnest, with a driving alternative rock style all their own." Daniel Stoker
http://thecelebritycafe.com/2016/08/review-18th-addisons-album-makeshift-monster/
The Wilson Billboard
"Overall, the album is a solid release for those interested in alternative/pop-punk music, especially if they feel nostalgic for the original sound of pop punk. This band is an example of how that sound is still present in today’s music, so “Makeshift Monster” along with their first EP, “Little Parasites,” are definitely worth checking out." Jenna Kauffman
