"Emily Burns is an extremely talented vocalist, and I look forward to hearing more of her. The band is top-notch as well, and I would expect big things from them in the future....I believe there are a lot of gems to be found here...." Wildy's World-Online indie music blog
"I haven't listened to a band that made the hair on my arms stand up like that in years!....Damned amazing!!...." Steve Allen-President of the Detroit Blues Society
"Wow! Girl, you shred that guitar! Rad! Totally impressed!" Suzy Cole-WRIF-FM DJ
"Good voices...great guitar solos...beautiful sounding group! I LOVE her voice!" Salam Wreck-DJ for D12 and Obie Trice
"The next band piqued my interest seeing that the oldest member was 18....they had been selected to play in the 2006 Detroit News Battle of the Bands so I was anxious to see them for the first time. Wow! All the members have a future in music and they tore the place up! Scoring with original songs and well played covers, the quartet ended their set with a smoking version of the Allman Brothers 'In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.' Not an easy song to play." Tim Richards-Review from BluesSource.com of 2006 Oxford Hot Blues and BBQ Festival
