Press Reviews Regarding the Frozen Sun CD and A Live Performance:“I saw these guys at the Truckstop Halloween Party, and they cold rocked the place. Good live show,strong stage presence. This album is good, and proves there is some talent right here in ole Jax Beach.Mitch and the boys hit you with a couple different styles, impressive changes, slowing it down for youhere and there. Listen for the samples from "They Live", and Cheech and Chong's "Still Smokin". Top it all off with a Dayglo Abortions cover, and you got yourself a sweet album.”Jason Auble-Truckstop Magazine Regarding the Frozen Sun CD:“Thanks for sending the CDs... we enjoyed listening to it. Congratulations on a terrific album.It looks and sounds great.”Melissa Quinley-Dischord Records "Thanks for forwarding the CD to me through the dischord office. Best of luck with the band.
