About Me

"If this is any indication of how infectious these hundred songs are going to turn out, I will be totally staggered when the project is completed. Hard working outfits like this are sure to be noticed quickly by a typically ignorant music industry." - Smother Magazine"...a motorcycle ride through your old neighborhood. Energetic rock n' roll with the songwriting fever of Guided By Voices and the recklessness of Sonic Youth." - Relative Theory Records"...set to revive a style of rock often considered forgotten, Hallelujah Boy possess the capability to move audiences with their elegantly smooth guitar melodies and addictive, sing-along choruses. Hallelujah Boy is a full force music explosion with a symphony of sound ready to let loose. Raise your hands in the air and prepare for Hallelujah Boy." - Innuendo Entertainment..
