"Their stage performance and their sound is as gutsy as their name, but all it takes is one time and you're hooked." -Bo Matthews Drive Show Air Personality, WIL 92.3 - St. Louis, MO
Ya gotta love that band name. These St. Louis boys have a guitar-heavy sound that indicates a strong Skynyrd/Allmans influence on their debut single. ...the harmonies on the choruses are country all the way. These St. Louis boys take on a touching, sentimental ode with excellent results. This is as well-written, performed and produced as anything on a Music Row major label. Spins, please. (Speaking on the song "Diamonds and Love") And there’s something to be said for placing the new single right in your hands at the convention, which is what the Well Hungarians did. -Robert K. Oermann Country music Historian/Author/Writer for Music Row
