Sounds Like: "This newfound world is glorious, with thick vast valleys of delicious Rhodes licks, mountains of layered energetic majestic riffs, rollin hills of sweet-to-steep beats, an expansive sky spotted with lush clouds of atmospheric Air-style ambiance, and overflowing lakes of crisp, salty, refreshingly clever lyrics. Flex keeps on getting better and better the more I experience it..."
--Cindi Robinson, Slug Magazine"The Rodeo Boys are known to speak humorously and carry a sharp wit. With Flex, they can add serious chops to a resume previously restricted to heart-on-sleeve lyrics and jokes galore..."
- Jamie Gadette, City Weekly"Coming on like a brain-damaged, heartbroken Steely Dan, the Rodeo Boys have their own distinctive sound centered on Ben Warren's Rhodes organ and singer/guitarist George Elliot's imaginative fretwork...Each and every song on Flex offers something distinctive, unusual, and compelling."
- Jarret Keene, Las Vegas CityLife
