    author: Kevin McCluskey

    Strong compositions, great playing, soulful vocals; this band has it all - and what slays me is they are SO young - all in their twenties. Get in on a good thing early, support vibrant young talent and get this killer CD.

  • How Cool is This?
    author: Scoop

    I wish I had thought of something as cool as this and then had the musical ability to pull it off. This is top shelf: harmony, melody and emotion wrapped in a sound that is at once classic and also way ahead of its time. Great!, excellent!, superb!, fantastic! /scoop
