Some mighty fine people gave Godsticks a listen and....

“Unique, but accessible: exactly what we need more of! Great stuff”
Billy Sheehan.
“A great, very easy to listen to original band with great melodies and flowing vocals. A true pleasure to listen to”
Larry Hartke, (Hartke Systems)
"Godsticks is smart, level-headed prog, forgoing angel-wings and flights of rhetorical fancy for a more focused, quirkier, even poppier groove - made that much cooler by the punchy fretless stylings of bassist Jason Marsh. Definitely worth a listen."
Bryan Beller, (Steve Vai, Mike Keneally, Solo artist)
"If you're one of those people that MUST categorise a band's music, you'll have to invent a new one called Progressive Jazz Rock for this band. They sound to me like Jeff Berlin and Allan Holdsworth meet Colloseum and Spock’s Beard. Jason Marsh's bass is bubbling all the way through, and the guitarist is doing wonderfully, unconventional things."
Martin Simpson, (Bass Musician Magazine)
“A prog/fusion that has deep roots in the best UK prog bands back in the 70s but with a fresh approach that shows Godsticks will add something to the genre history”
Lorenzo Feliciati, (Bass clinician at Academy of Contemporary Music London)
"Godsticks creates a heavenly fusion out of some unexpected sub-genres -- jazz, pop, rock and funk -- to recall the best work of artists like Jeff Beck, Mike Keneally, Level 42, Peter Gabriel, Steve Vai and Steely Dan."
Bill Meredith, (JazzTimes and Jazziz magazines)

"Outlandishly original and mind-bending. Godsticks are a fantastic band."
Mike Keneally,(Composer)

"Lots of inventive turns of phrase, clever arpeggios, and other little touches combine with the jazzish grooves and hooky melodies to keep things interesting."
Barry Cleveland,(Guitar Player Magazine)
