Americana pop-rock
A sample of what others have said:
"Most of these songs could be thrown immediately into rotation on 92.9FM WBOS [Boston, MA]...above-average songwriting...You'll hear it—or something like it—on the radio soon enough..."
-Dissolver Magazine
“A collection of radio-friendly pop-rock tunes that span subjects ranging from relationships to social commentary…Infused by Ayoub’s canny songwriting, masterful keyboard tracks from Tim Bradshaw and drumming from Ed Toth, ‘Schoolbus Window Paper Heart’ is filled with potent hooks and evocative lyrics.”
“Ayoub isn’t about to let listeners off with an earful of cotton candy, however, and uses his observational skills and sense of irony to invade unexplored songwriting territory. ‘Scenes from An American Highway Rest Stop’ is what Simon and Garfunkel would have seen if their bus had stopped on the way to ‘look for America.’ And ‘4th District Court of Bristol County,’ which occupies a hidden track on the record, tells of Ayoub’s own bizarre experiences there as a juror.”

SUN CHRONICLE’S LAST-MINUTE GIFT IDEAS
>Phil Ayoub, whose smart lyrics and accessible tunes have radio-friendly stamped on their backsides and whose virtuosity ought to guarantee consideration at next year’s Boston Music Awards.
“Phil Ayoub has an MBA degree. He also has some kind of ear for commercial pop-rock melodies and intelligent lyrics. Ayoub’s first solo release, ‘Schoolbus Window Paper Heart,’ is filled with radio-friendly grooves and themes that range from the 9-11 nightmare to carefree romance….[Previous band] Riverside Train’s run stopped somewhere short of major music industry success for Ayoub. ‘Schoolbus Window Paper Heart’ could change all that.”
-The Sun Chronicle
"Ayoub shows off smart lyrics, radio-friendly sound on debut CD...reminiscent of Dylan."
-The Valley Breeze
Phil Ayoub's Schoolbus Window Paper Heart was one of my more recent pleasant surprises, having picked it up over the holidays. The record was produced by one of David Gray's sidemen...This is great singer-songwriter stuff, in many places worthy of my holy trinity of Josh Rouse, David Mead and Freedy Johnston. The standout track, "River to Ocean", though, is jangly power pop bliss reminiscent of Michael Carpenter. There's hardly a weak track in the batch on this one.
-Absolute Powerpop
“A sensational debut album.”
“The name Phil Ayoub is not a household name. Yet, that is….Ayoub has created a stellar debut album; an album that is likely to get his music into the stereos of more and more people as they become familiar with him and his music…musically rich, vocally strong…’Not your everyday debut album.’”
“White Feather brings you into the album nicely, with a rhythmic harmonica introduction…Scenes from an American Highway Rest Stop is a creatively put together piece that has an interesting electronic feel to the back of the song….River to Ocean…is worthy of some radio play…A hidden track is always a nice bonus to an album, especially if the track is decent enough to listen to. 4th District Court of Bristol County…is good enough not to be ‘hidden’…”
“Schoolbus Window Paper Heart is a spectacular debut album that deserves to be purchased and listened to. While many debut albums might find their way to the CD player only once or twice, Phil Ayoub has created an album that very well could become a regular guest…”
