Press Reviews "BEST MALE VOCALIST IN SAN DIEGO! During their live performance, I thought they were loud. That was until I heard the applause from the audience.Look for another San Diego group to get signed bya major record label soon" - San Diego Reader Magazine. "Great guitar solos and well produced. Very well made music that will fit into any rock radio broadcast" - Magnet Reviews. "The CD features well written and performed original music. But what really separates "The Men" from the boys is their live performances. Emotional, powerful and yes VERY LOUD" - Randy Flores, Aztec International Music Press. "Their show had the entire audience riveted to the stage. They ripped through their set like a machine gun and left us out of breath!" - John Thompson, Peter Rabbit Press.

Additional Info All songs recorded at Blitz Studios except "The Lonely One" which was produced and recorded by Eric Heuschele in his garage on a 4 track.
