About Me

"Dean Ranel has single handedly moulded together an album melded with magnificence and contemporary pizzaz"
Cairns Barfly, AU

"There were a few moments when I closed my eyes and I could have been at the feet of the great Lou Reed. Their sound was impressive. They come from a background of classical training and that shines through in the sophistication of their composition."
Fasterlouder.com AU

"It's The Way is a potential hit"
Radio OCI, Spain

Check out 'Girls from Holland' which for the best part we have sworn had Bowie doing guest vocals with Split Enz"
