Press Reviews Eat My Dust: "This record reeled me in like a helpless fish. Garage pop'n'roll." - Indie-Music.com (go to http://www.indie-music.com/kowtowpopof.htm); "Sounding like the love-child of a secret rendezvous between the Guess Who and Joe Jackson, these clever, fast-talking tunes rock resolutely but also clean up real nice. Vast, open-sky guitars render the ballads absolutely heart-breaking." - Listen.com;Coaster: "The title track has definite hit single potential, so don't be surprised if you hear this small masterpiece on your radio.Kowtow keeps surprising you track after track with his talent for witty turns of phrase and creative musical craftwork.Coaster is an all 'round joyride." -The Incredibly Small Concert Hall; Pointless Forest: “A resounding triumph . . . as warm, full-bodied, and intelligent as they come.” - J. Doug Gill, Music Monthly
