“The band knows how to build a strong sing-along, even if you don’t know what you’re singing along to, and that adds to their power as an eccentric group...now go listen to the album and enjoy the wildness.”
- Julian T. Wyllie, “Warapada” album review, Spin, Needle, & Pop, 2015
“Whats worthy of note about these guys is the complexity of their songwriting. A lot of bands can pull of the garage or alternative thing if they add enough distortion and bass, but they already have a fairly refined aesthetic after only a few months together as a band”
- Grant Catton, Nuvo Magazine - Indianapolis, 2011
“This is a break-out effort for a generation of people looking for the sounds of the great singer songwriters of the ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s… A solid listening album that deserves your attention”
- “Cherry Breeze” album review, Narrow Magazine, St. Augustine, 2020
