PRESS & HONORS
Post Gazette : "It’s one of those ferocious growls that knocks you back a little"
Point Park: "It’s just pretty heavy, weird rock-and-roll blues, I guess."
​
Hughs Show: "The music we make (to me), over the past year, warped its way into a dizzying fusion of a lot of poetry and frustration."
