BUTCH MURPHY and
the GREASY KINGS
"...a big-voiced frontman with the on-stage charisma of three top-notch Vegas crooners" — The Rocket, Seattle

DOUG ANDREW and
the CIRCUS IN FLAMES
"sheet metal country ...like a runaway locomotive thundering down the mountain without any brakes, to a wind slipping through the forest at midnight" — Doug Andrew

HERALD NIX
"Sounds like nothing else in the roots marketplace. It's one of a kind, a work of sublime musical art. A masterpiece in which style and substance create a luminous, resonant glow." — Toronto Star

RODNEY DECROO and
the REVIVAL
"Every now and again an album comes along that right from the opening bars you just know it’s gonna be on the nail. This is such an album. His rootsy sound gets better with every listen. A story teller par excellence" — Americana UK

SWANK
"Go See Swank! The place was packed to the gills. And what a great show. Gritty blues and stompin country all influenced i guess by that thriving Vancouver Punkabily scene. They got an edge alright!" — Kilkenny Festival, Ireland

THE HIGHBALLS
"My first stab at classification would go something like, "acoustic mariachi punk". Catch the LIVE experience if you can but don't be a sucker. These guys taunt for tequilas. I've seen it happen and it's not pretty." — World Beat Canada

DAVID P. SMITH
"a fire and brimstone band that makes the whole experience much like a snake handlin' religious revival. It will make you want to speak in tongues and flail around on the floor." — The Tyee

ELDORADO
"Vixen led garage country rock. Think Detroit Cobra's meet Nancy Sinatra. Also it's the name of the hottest nightspot on Kingsway." — Terminal City

FLOPHOUSE JR.
"Flophouse Jr scored a blue-chip accolade when its debut album, Woodland, was named "Americana album of the month" by the influential U.K. glossy Mojo. That's the kind of press that alt-country artists pray to Hank Williams for, and it helped make a tour of England that followed into a DIY success." — Georgia Staight

MINIMALIST JUG BAND
"If Lou Reed passed out on the grave of Johnny Cash and dreamt of Jack Kerouac the soundtrack to his dream might sound vaguely like Al. He's shared stages with the likes of Nick Cave, They Might Be Giants and The Cowboy Junkies." — Vancouver Folk Fest

FORD PIER
"This excellent disc should have an advisory that reads: Contents Under Pressure, Open at Your Own Risk. 4 Stars." — Globe & Mail

ANA BON BON
"Nodding to old blues, gospel, and Tin Pan Alley tunesmithing, Vancouver's Ana Bon-Bon and her full-bodied voice and accordion playing bring a vintage bawdy-house bon-temps vibe to life" — Montreal Mirror

D. TREVLON
"Then quickly the rowdy old tavern sounds of D. Trevlon hit the stage. One only hopes that his soon to be enjoyed western swing brings him the success he so rightly deserves." — London Independent

JESS HILL
"stories; obscured, poetic and worn - eerie streets at twilight, city scapes, long goodbyes and shadows."

SARAH MACDOUGALL
"honest, open, and beautiful - it makes an imediate emotional connection with the listener." — Steve Bellamy

COUSIN HARLEY
"Plays hot enough to raise sweat on a chunk of granite!" — Monday Magazine
