Press Reviews - Geoff Wilburs Industry Newsletter "Renegade": "Straight from the Jersey Shore with a sound like a dimly-lit blues club on a rainy, smoky night, this band holds great promise for contemporary blues and jazz fans. Great musicianship and excellent use of blending feel and groove with tight riffing, the Rogues are off to a burnin' start with their "gig-financed" CD debut. Standout cuts include: "I Got The Blues," "My Nights Still Belong To You," and "Creole Girl," along with six other original songs. You can tell at once that the Rogues have had many nights playing these tunes in clubs because of the feel and flow that allows them to build up steam and groove to red hot levels.- Blueroom 97 Artist of the Month: This band I'm reviewing as Artist of the Month is a Blues Band out of New Jersey, Rogues on the Run. The CD they sent me was packed with wonderful, awesome music. I can remember some of those movies with the New York nighttime music. That's a good thing. This band makes you want to sit back and relax from a long hard day at work and listen to their CD. Everybody should have this CD I believe. The excellent blues voice of Jack Hoban (who sounds a little bit like Eric Clapton if I might say so myself), the wonderful bass riffs (which you'll find in Guitar Magazine someday) of Wayne Gronberg, the wonderful keyboard and saxophone works of Mario and Vel, and last but not least, the wonderful outstanding rhythm section of Robert and Greg bring out what's best and what kicks butt on this CD. So I think you should visit their web site and get a taste of some of the greatest musicians I have ever heard. - From front page article in the December issue of Tri-State Blues: "terrific...and most of their stuff was original. Remember the last time you heard an unknown band do songs you were singing the next day. Been a while hasn't it?"
