Review from Oklahoma Punk Scne Dot Com
Excerpt from "Barb's Untitled Column" reviewing a show from 9-28-02 in issue #3 of http://oklahomapunkscene.com/
A couple of days later, I headed down to the American Legion Hall in Norman for an all-local-band bill. FONE SEX opened the evening with punk rock that occasionally featured a saxophone, and included a traditional “fuck you” chorus two songs into their set. MOCKINGBIRD LANE had apparently recently lost a bassist and vocalist, but the drummer and vocalist carried on, with the vocalist handling guitar duties and commenting that he’s good when he’s not playing an instrument. This show marked my first time to see PAIN RELIEF, a three-piece band from Moore whose set included a funny cover of “Unbelievable.” The ROUSTABOUTS finished out the night with their trademark high energy, regardless of the small turnout. It was particularly cool to see them in a venue where the audience is on the same level as the band, since it gives a different perspective to see a band eye-to-eye (or at least as close to eye-to-eye as a vertically challenged person like me can get!).

Review from Ashes #2
Below is a copy of the review of Mockingbird Lane's second show on 6-8-02. This was in the "Live Show Reviews" article written by Nick Cebalo for Ashes.
THE BANNED, THE FESTIVAL CITY SAINTS, MOCKINGBIRD LANE, THE TUDE', & THE PURPLE COW STORY June 8th at Buzz's Subs in Norman
By Nick Cebalo
Unfortunately, I missed half the show and got there in time for Mockingbird Lane, the only D-Rock band I think I've ever seen in Norman. They were very entertaining to watch, especially the funny looking Hot Topic postergirls moshing about. According to some people, Mockingbird Lane was the most energetic band that night so far. Next was The Festival City Saints. Very nice punk band, from what I heard. It got to hot and I had to sit in the other room in front of a fan before I died, but they did sound pretty cool. So based on that I give two thumbs up and a "good job guys". And last up were New York natives The Banned. After playing one song they had to stop for a sec so the drummer could put on clothes. Whoops! Apparently these things are supposed to be planned out, right? Not likely. Anyway, they played for a good hour and twenty minutes and they kicked ass. This would be my first time to have heard this band and I definitely was impressed. It was definitely a fun night.
