[Connect has]...vocals that float in and out over a breathtaking soundscape. Very accomplished harmonies being used. wonderful (5 Stars) - WE7
Next up were duo The Ex-Patriots. Two very accomplished musicians, I really enjoyed the good solid rock they played. With some superb licks from the lead guitarist, whose style is somewhat reminiscent of Tom Morello with perhaps hints of John Frusciante in the sound itself; and great rolling bass-lines from the singer, they clearly have a strong musical rapport with each other. I found myself looking forward to the inevitable guitar solo in each song, and there was a great mix of techniques such as tapping and harmonics which really gave the feeling of getting the most out of the instrument. All in all, excellent stuff.- Jeff Radford
