REVIEWS FOR ROUGH AROUND THE EDGES
“Deeply impressive. Powerpop at its most raucous, but crucially with TUNES… catchy as hell.”
- Shindig Magazine
“‘I Never Loved You" is a classic, power pop-sounding gem.”
“Turgeon always seems to hit the spot and in the past five years or so has created his own space, a space that relies on consistency and excellence... ‘Better With You’ is one of the best Power Pop songs that you will hear… ‘I Never Loved You’ is classic AOR… The best song here is ‘Please Take Me Back’ and it is possibly the best Matthew Sweet song that he hasn't written. If only the real thing produced something as great these days.”
– I Don’t Hear a Single (7.31.22)
“If you decide to listen to just one song today, let that be ‘I Never Loved You’, a mega hit where I’m hanging out... Richard Turgeon has released one great record after another in recent years, and his new EP Rough Around The Edges is even better.”
– Sweet Sweet Music (8.15.22)
"The record’s first three cuts – “Better With You,” “I Never Loved You,” and “Please Take Me Back” – all deserve heavy rotation on what’s left of rock radio. They’re a masterclass in how to weave a solid hook into your song... As Rough Around the Edges is Turgeon’s seventh album in just five years, there’s really nothing rough about it. He just keeps turning out should-be hits, waiting for the world to catch up."
– PopRock Record (8.11.22)
“Richard is front and center again with a new album – and it’s very possibly his best yet… another top shelf guitar pop album.”
– Power Pop News (8.9.22)
“There is a possibility that pop fans could take Richard Turgeon for granted. He’s so consistently good at what he does, and he's sufficiently prolific that less attentive ears might be at risk of missing some (or all) of his engaging pop gems.”
— This is Rock ‘n’ Roll Radio WSPJ 103.3 & 93.7 FM Syracuse (8.4.22)

MORE FIRE FOR CAMPFIRE SONGS
“Turgeon has been on an incredible creative roll these past few years, producing four full-length albums of original material and two collections of cover tunes. And now here’s Campfire Songs, which serves as a winning addition to his ever-increasing discography.” - Something Else Reviews
“Turgeon is reminiscent of R.E.M., Cheap Trick and Tom Petty without losing individuality and originality.” — The Other Side Reviews
REVIEWS FOR SEA CHANGE (2020 LP)
Best of 2020 – POWER POP NEWS
“TURGEON NEVER COMPROMISES QUALITY. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.” — POWERPOPAHOLIC

“Sea Change is fabulous. There are many reasons for it, but the overriding one is this: its independence.” — Maximum Volume Music
“This record just confirms why Turgeon keeps showing up on so many ‘best of’ lists each year.” — Poprock Record
“Sea Change observes Richard Turgeon operating at top form.” — SOMETHING ELSE REVIEWS
