"(PC Muñoz) is truly a modern musician, equally at home with a live band, playing the most organic of instruments...or hunched over a computer, making beats and working magic with ProTools..."
Tom Chandler, East Bay Express
"Muñoz's tasteful electronics, effortlessly balancing hard-hitting syncussion with bouncy basslines and buttery synth washes, are the perfect counterpoint to the thought-provoking words he spits out with an incomparable cool....undeniable talent for crafting songs that stimulate the mind and the body."
Amorn Bholsangngam, Urb Magazine
"Somewhere between hip-hop attitude, Minneapolis nasty and latin rock playa chops, PC Muñoz has an instantly compelling sound that defies definition..."
Rickey Vincent, author of "Funk: The Music, The People, and The Rhythm of the One" and host of KPFA's "The History of Funk" radio show
"Compelling beats, clever lyrics, and special guests, such as cellist Jean Jeanrenaud, make (Grab Bag) an enjoyable listen."
Electronic Musician
"...dark, sexual, sensual, confessional, and confrontational -- all at the same time... a poet..."
Performing Songwriter
"...undeniable stage presence...laid-back, but commanding...the show is a left hook all right---and a knock out at that."
Mike Osegueda, Fresno Bee
" Interestingly catchy...featuring sounds you haven't heard in some time, if ever."
Strother Bullins, Pro Audio Review
"Everything from...the exotic Chinese drums he records with and his complicated cultural background screams variety. One thing is for certain. "PC" does not stand for politically correct. Lyrically, PC Muñoz likes to take on politics, religion and a little kinky sex."
Delfin Vigil, San Francisco Chronicle
"Great work. It's all too rare to hear someone breaking new ground in the pop field."
John Zorn, Composer
"... PC Muñoz consistently redefine(s) himself, sailing effortlessly across artistic categories..."
Marian Liu, San Jose Mercury News
"...in the spirit of Gil Scott-Heron... PC Muñoz is an excellent urban poet with a lot to say."
Mark Guerrero, Singer-Songwriter/Chicano music historian
"Recommended."
