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') San Jose, California April 17th, 2006''One reason why the melody is so attractive, is the vocals. The female backing vocals are sooo nice!!! Fantastic! Beautiful! Lovely!!!''- O_K (Garageband review of 'Downtown') London/U.K. Ylivieska/Finland, Finland 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
