"Escalator Hill's live performance exhibits clever song writing and a host of talented musicians... "
-- Kush Magazine; March 2011, volume 3, issue 3

" The adrenaline-fueled folk-rock of L.A. quintet Escalator Hill draws as much influence from the big indie collectives of this era as the past purveyors of Americana"
