Album Notes

A "gifted musician" with a stunning voice, Toronto-based Rob Szabo has toured for over a decade, releasing 6 CDs, while fronting various bands. He has released 2 CDs as a solo artist and has played theatres, clubs, festivals and even busked on occasion. Rob plays honest music for music lovers.


"The fact that Szabo is a gifted musician has never been in question, but A Battery of Tests is easily his finest songwriting to date, placing him in good stead alongside post-Beatlemaniacs like Elliot Smith and Crowded House's Neil Finn ... Szabo has just made the album of his career ... "-Michael Barclay, The Record (Kitchener -Waterloo,CANADA)

"You probably know Rob Szabo. If not by name, then by his music ...(a battery of tests is) a personal expression from a talented artist ... though the songs are his stories, he has a natural ability to make them ours ... raw backporch guitar ease."-Jeff Hurst, Cambridge Times (Cambridge,ON,CANADA)

"... brilliant, Cobain-worthy."-Dave Richards, Erie Times (Erie,PA,USA)

" ... a battery of tests is a gloomy musical voyage of discovery by an accomplished singer/songwriter who lays bare his tortured soul for all to hear."-David McPherson, Umbrella Music.com

" ... highlight Szabo's gift as a sincere and honest songwriter ... A Battery of Tests is a really good album."
-Jason Corcoran-Barre, The Silhouette (Mcmaster U., Hamilton,ON),
