"like your old Tony Llamas with the worn-down heels" - Kelly Vance, East Bay Express

CD Reviews:
"Keith Karloff's "Lou Ann" and "Live to Ride" have the jangly guitars and pop hooks of classic Tom Petty or Marshall Crenshaw singles, married to a beefier rhythm section that makes the record rock fairly assertively even on the ballads" - Billboard Magazine/All Music October 2006

Preview CD Reviews:
"One of the most interesting and unique bands out of this genre" - Blooddawn" Magazine, Germany, January 2004

"Reminiscent of the great Jimi Hendrix and the vocals of great bluesmen such as B.B. King". "Live To Ride" is a true biker hymn" - SLAM MAGAZINE, Italy, January 2004
