Press Reviews "It's perplexing to find such stellar young performers such as Denwood still fishing for a label connection" Gary Alexander Woodstock Times "They were by far one of the best bands booked at NXNE 98 ! It was such a unique & original mix of music that every body at the club seemed to do a double take from the first bars they played. CD should sell like fajitas in Tijuana !"
