Quotes from Reviews and Opinions:

“I really like these songs on Myspace. Very cool vibe on Blixa!”
Adam Franklin, Swervedriver and Toshack Highway

“Also from the Midsummer Madness label website, there’s "Ready EP", by Cassim. Cassiano Fagundes is a member of Bad Folks, the excellent folk rock band from Curitiba. In his new project, Cassim comes with songs full of noise and distortion as in “Libertaria” or with an angular soul (“That Old Spell”). Few in Brazil make rock music as sharp as Cassim and Bad Folks.”
Thiago Ney, Folha de São Paulo Newspaper

“Listening to Blixa, Libertaria (Madagascar) and That Old Spell live is fantastic! Being original music is already something, but it gets even better when (you notice) it is different from the average sounds and is created from a cohesive work full of aesthetical and sound references, that’s what Cassim also has done (live) with Barbária!”
Luciano Vitor, To Puto rock magazine online

“Excellent.”
Juliana Girardi, Gazeta do Povo Newspaper

“He makes the audience at the Sonkey stage rise up in a contagious manner. His music is noise pop, industrial rock and german krautrock altogether. A virtuoso in his creations, he used all kinds of resources and electronic paraphernalia, which gave a special touch to his presentation, combined with his ever present charisma. Best moments in Libertaria, This Place Called Feeling and Blixa.”
Dynamite Magazine

"His EP Ready is not restrained by a specific sound genre and freely experiments with distorted guitars and lyrics in English, like in “That Old Spell” and “A Minute Ago."
