Press Reviews "['The Spot' is] A hot and funky soulful groove. Lyrics are old skool in that they deal with nothing more complicated than going out and dancing the night away. (Hey, sometimes we all need to do that!) Very catchy!"-Shawn Rhodes, WBAI 99.5 FM "Only bands who are this talented could get away with such 1/2 romantic lines as: "Forever I'll be your freak!" Honied harmonies, great production value and mellow slo-jam style instrumentation... MBD is tight. 'Nuff said." - Jiandaj
