Site **** "4 Stars... Qwiksand is a four-piece band that combines funk, reggae, rock, and ska influences for a stripped down California beach-tremolo sound. It's definitely got some serious groove, and I would recommend this to any fan of Sublime. Beach rock at its best!" -Maximum Ink, Wisconsin USA.**** "With the ska of Sublime and the groove and funk of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Qwiksand have created something that is a welcome change from what you hear on your local modern rock station..." -Plug In Music, Philadelphia USA**** "It's one of the few bands that can resonate something akin to Red Hot Chili Peppers. They're gathering good reviews and are highly regarded as a hot new act. Their live show should surely be terrific if these songs are anything to go by." -Mediasearch, Australia.**** "We enjoyed having QWIKSAND down here at San Diego State University earlier this semester. We received great reviews from our students so we'd like to see if we can book the group again." -Associated Students San Diego State University, CA**** "Thanks again for coming to Rock the U! You were seriously the best entertainment we had all night. We were able to raise over $70,000 for cancer research, not including donations made by our sponsors. Your music is great and I hope you guys drop by Salt Lake City again sometime soon!" -Associated Students University of Utah**** "The Qwiksand show was fantastic!! It was a great night for our pub and everyone that I talked to enjoyed the show. There were not enough good things to say about the night and I would love to see them play our pub again." -12th St. Pub, Lincoln Nebraska**** "Qwiksand did great! It was nice to provide a genre to the students that we don't bring out very often. The guys were a pleasure to work with, I had a great time!" -Associated Students University of California Santa Barbara, CA**** "Everything was great. We again are very happy with Qwiksand and I would like to talk about doing a 3 show deal." -Club Sachi, Long Beach, CA**** "These guys are a riot. You will love to see them live with such positive energy you can’t help but smile when you watch them play." -Bitchin' Entertainment, Lindale, Georgia USA.**** "As energetic promoting their shows as they are when performing them, Qwiksand has developed an extensive network of fans across the West Coast. With support from over 150 radio stations, Qwiksand’s melodic surf funk music is quickly becoming fan favorites in any market the band plays in." -Independent Artist Registry, USA.**** "QWIKSAND are one of the best bands that have aired on our television show. -Eric Johnson, Producer, The Buzzz Music Television, Irvine, California, USA.**** "Without a doubt, QWIKSAND is one the most successful bands that have been played on our station. Definitely, Tracks 2,6,7 are the most played out of the entire album. I have personally interviewed the guys and had a blast. They are constantly on the Top 30 playlist." -Jacky Li, Music Director, 105.3FM KGUR Radio, San Luis Obispo, CA, USA.**** "I did get the Fellowship of the Groove and I have been diggin' it, which means spinnin' it. So make it 102 U.S. radio stations and send more copies if you have them and keep us posted if they come into the Metro anytime soon." -Benjamin Johnson, Music Director, 90.1 FM KKFI Radio, Kansas City, Missouri**** "Out of the Huntington Beach area, a little melody, a little surf funk... Oh my God, yeah yeah, QWIKSAND Yeah! You're welcome here anytime." -Bruce Latimer, Producer, The Bruce Latimer Television Show, San Francisco, California**** "Tireless promoters like Qwiksand make packing the house seem easy." -Music Phone Book, USA**** "A regular groove fest, man. Good job on blending all those styles of music into your own special sound." -Alex Oliver, Poppermost / Suicide Pop Records, Las Vegas, Nevada**** "Seeing them live is even better. Qwiksand grooved and rocked at Belushe's with a full house." -Entertainment Magazine, USA
