Sounds Like: "Whitman trades off the type of riffs and rhythms that made Spoon a big deal" - Austin Monthly

“Good song writing. I feel that you are telling a real life story to a friend. The quality of your life is coming out in your music… Although not really hard rock, there is a driving quality to your sound” -Perry Farrell of Jane’s Addiction

"Very solid playing. “The Drifter” is a Nice driving rock tune reminiscent of Arcade Fire and countless UK bands from the ‘80s. Bravo!" -Doug Brod, Editor of SPIN

"I prefer “For Heaven Sake”, (I) appreciate the philosophical bent to the lyrics. I like the crunchiness of the music. Nice one." -Tim Kasher of Cursive

"Simply put, this quartet makes driving rock music. Sure, it features some nice harmonies and crisp, layered arrangements, but deep down they're songs you just want to turn up loud and look cool doing it." -Austin Sound

"There are whorls, and simple ranging guitar parts to exploding emotional rock opus areas, this never leaves the listener bored, not once. ...It had us air drumming and heads nodding" -Crooked Camera (Minneapolis, MN)

Record Label: Sonora Records
Type of Label: Indie
