“Roland K Smith is Australia’s answer to Ryan Adams. He has the potential to go that far too. He’s got the talent, he’s got the will and he’s got the way. Watch him as he soars." THE BRAG MAGAZINE 2 June 2008
“There is a clear fragility to the delivery, and one could easily be reminded of the similarly haunting godfather of such songwriting, Townes Van Zandt." www.alternativemediagroup.com 11 June 2008
“…a performer whose ability as a songwriter is matched by the performances he offers." RAVE MAGAZINE 16 September 2008
“With a twang sounding more Nashville than Sydney, Roland uses simple heartfelt lyrics with an understated band.” www.fasterlouder.com.au 3 August 2008
