    Reviews:

    Gods of Music, 2003 - "The guitar played by Will McBride is awesome! The notes are full and rich like butter. His rhythm is tight and unforgiving." "...recording quality is great and mirrors McBride’s sound technical skill." "With musicianship that the Dave Matthew's Band wound envy, Will McBride has assembled the party band of the century."
    Shellie Byrum - www.indie-music.com, Sept 2003 "McBride's second album As Yet is the epitome of cool. But don't let that trick you: a lot of talent and hard work lies behind the album's effortless facade. McBride delivers guitar solos on the same level as Santana and a warm, unique voice that could be likened to a gentler Johnny Cash. The end product of his unforced talent is a funky rock/jazz sound, injected with an upbeat Latin feel and twangy depth that is, I dare say, hard to find anywhere else."
    Harriet Haunch - www.godsofmusic.com review of 'Better Enjoy it Now', March 2003 "An upbeat and fresh sounding track... The recording quality is great and mirrors McBride's sound technical skill." "Overall it's a track...worth listening to. It breaks the mould of pop tracks and it's a refreshing change."
    www.StoryLinerecords.com review of 'Better Enjoy it Now', April 2003 "It's a solid recording incorperating intelligent musicians who display smart song writing skills, and produce great music."
    Kara Chiles - Wilmington Morning Star Sept 1992 "Will McBride is flexible...His band THE QUICK plays anything jazz. He's willing to experiment...which might be why THE QUICK is developing a following".
    Cris Putnam - The Beat Magazine, year 2 edition 4 "a welcome kick-in-the-pants to Wilmington's ...market. The strong vocals and positive lyrics give this music real pop-crossover potential without diminishing the high level of musicianship..." "Will McBride proves to be a sterling guitarist, songwriter, and arranger."
    Marc Matney - Encore Magazine "...top-notch musicianship on display here. THE QUICK - another shining facet in the amazing music scene in the Port City".
    The Beat Magazine, year 1 edition 12 "Their own unique sound...is multifaceted and dynamically structured. "Dynamic Proportions" is filled with songs of optimism, upbeat arrangements..."
    Spectator Magazine, Oct 28, 1993 "Guitarist McBride lays down some sweet electric sounds, with more rock influences than the more traditional jazz language used often for guitar."

    Funk edged tune, opens the "As Yet..." CD. It's all about lifes fast pace and reflecting on what we're all working toward. "...is this the end to justify the means, is this the final measure of success?" Radio friendly and lyrically introspective. Buy the CD to get it.
