“Peifer has established himself as one of the most dependable solo artists in today's power pop scene. He has quickly honed a signature sound built on tuneful melodies, sincere vocals, and relatable lyrics. In trying times, (his) albums have been like comfort food for the soul. They've traced our collective journey into the darkness and ultimately back into the light. Peifer has again crafted a quintessential melodic guitar rock album. Sacred & Profane, like its two predecessors, is a reminder that even in an ever-changing world of music, well-crafted pop-rock will never go out of style.”- Lord Rutledge, Faster and Louder

"Top notch songwriting skills. 'Sacred & Profane' has a warm production, well developed songs and is full of hints of Westerberg, Costello, Lowe and Chilton. Like these artists, Peifer takes his songwriting seriously while maintaining an authentic sense of rock’n’roll. 'Sacred & Profane' is a subtle record full of concise power pop gems, with a new favorite popping up on each play." - Niek, Add to Wantlist

"Especialmente para los amantes del Westerberg en solitario u última época Replacements es lo último de Peifer . Cantautor rock con corozancito powerpopero y aquí hay mucho de esa sangre corriendo por los surcos. Muy Muy Bueno."
"Especially for lovers of Westerberg solo or late-era Replacements is the latest from Peifer. Rock singer-songwriter with a power pop heart, and here there is a lot of that blood running through the grooves. Very very good." - Bernardo de Andres, Mi Tocadiscos Dual

“New York powerpop maestro Christopher Peifer returns with his brand new single 'Nowhere Fast'. A relatable story for many, a tragicomic account of job hunting in post-pandemic times. It is a song of its time but with a classic sound. Driving, melodic and punchy. Peifer expertly brings together the worlds of punk, and vintage power pop. For fans of Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello, Big Star, Teenage Fanclub.” - Tom Hilton, Aldora Britain Records

"Criminally underrated Christopher Peifer has a solid sound and tells musical tales akin to Paul Westerberg and Alex Chilton." - Power Popaholic
