This album has a consistency and tightness that is a rarity. Project 814 is a rock solid band that offers a rock-progressive sound that never lets up, not for a second. This is the kind of music that keeps you all pumped up, from start to finish. This band is not too hard or too soft, they play the type of music almost everyone would like, including other musicians, who would flock to see them perform live. It’s like when you go to a Dream Theater concert; there is nothing but musicians there. I think this kind of talent deserves that kind of attention and respect. This is top of the line rock music folks…you will love it.

A good, honest, effort at music for the sake of music. Project 814 doesn't endeavour to take you into boy band land or screaming metal land. Instead, it concentrates on delivering good music played in a stunning manner. 

A collection of great musicians who work hard at delivering great music which is heavily influenced by what they like rather than what record label executives (read accountants) like. 

There's a freshness and an honesty in this music (in particular in "Catamaran Tack" which features great bass work) which are certainly welcome after going through a pile of major label CDs. 

I think this band have what it takes to go places. Looking forward to more from them.

Well, what can be said about Project 814 that hasn’t already been said? This group, led by bassist Jon Pomplin, has garnered praise from such sources as The Boston Herald, Jeff Berlin, Dann Glenn, and Adam Nitti. How have they received all this attention and acclaim? The answer is simple. Project 814 is a group that makes music for the right reason: love of music. And, miraculously, they have captured their passion on a CD.

"Jon Pomplin is a gifted bass player and composer. He has surrounded himself with great talent in his band Project 814. The new release
'DECLASSIFIED' has 10 great songs on it that at times reminds me a little of Jethro Tull and Cream, yet with a totally refreshing persona of its own.
Wonderful heartfelt original music."
