"Playing off the stylistics that would easily satisfy the X-Fest crowd, their big, anthemic choruses and radio-ready sound have made them a fixture on the Dayton music scene."
-Kyle Melton
Dayton City Paper
"The songs don't sound rushed, in fact they have a power and immediacy that's often overshadowed by studio trickery."
"Pushing Back and Good Intentions, Poor Delivery...have strong melodies and good musicianship. The trio switches gears on a few cuts such as Going Home, a complex rocker with numerous changes."
-Don Thrasher
The Dayton Daily News
"HQAX is one catchy rock band.They write rock n’ roll built around strong and catchy melodies and hooks. Musically they feature elements of Alkaline Trio-styled pop-punk with moments of upbeat guitar heavy rock."
