Sounds Like:Watching this band perform is a real experience...their songs are unique and original...a sound all of their own.'' Ryan Morrison, BBC Jersey 2006"Sounds like the Go Team meets the Mamas & The Papas doing the twist with Santana in a dirty Mexican bar." JL07''This song has great hook to it. The melody and rhythm are insanely good. These guys are really cool..''- dj_eggnog (Garageband review of 'Downtown')

April 20th, 2006''This has kind of a motown feel to it. Good love makin' music for sure! I like the change to the reggae feel around the 1:00 mark. Kind of reminds me a little bit of Indie.Arie. the melody is good, the rhythm is great.'' - PaxTempest (Garageband review of 'Downtown') Bloomington, Indiana - April 22nd, 2006
