About Me

"What would result if you crossed The After School Special with The Sights? Wait. How old are these punks?"
-Metro Times
"...a fast, high-flying parcel of hard-hitting swinging grit, wavy guitar hooks delivered in that golden gut-punch-feedback style with insuppressibly swing-able rhythms and a surprisingly soulful, confident gravely howl coming from Hecker's 16-year-old frame. The scope is ambitious, drawing as much from mid-60's spilled-out-spastic garage to 70's blues to 90's classic rock revival; the whirled rollickin swagger never slows down..."
-Real Detroit Weekly
"the next batch of detroit goodness to come out rocking and genuinely mean it."
-Tony Muggs
"Refreshingly full of youthful vigor and a scary amount of talent. Nice and noisy, they perhaps herald the return of quality garage rock to the city."
-Metro Times Blog
"...essential next-wave Detroit-rock listening. The band knows what it means to work hard, and it’s a sentiment heard all over..."
-Detour-Mag
"For their age, their musical consciousness and talent is astounding and rejuvenating"
-Real Detroit Weekly
