Dr. Ricardo Sanchez; June 26, 1988-San Antonio Express-News"For a bunch of local guys, this band makes authentic reggae. The good kind, too, not the reggae that features a frat guy with dreds and an electric guitar. Your ears are safe. "
Nina Garin; Sept. 25th, 2008 - San Diego Union Tribune"Excellent, reminded me at age 14, listening to Jazzy B from UB40 reverberating his voice through the haze.â€
