Press Reviews "PCP is a musical experience in the truest sense of the term. An instrumental trio about which almost nothing seems known for sure, they've created a sonic juggernaut called Vol. 1, a title as direct and yet ethereal as the music, indeed, as the guys themselves. The solid rhythm section of Derrin Pinto & Michael Cassidy is the backbone here, but it's serpentine to be sure, redirecting on a dime to send the music off into uncharted waters and letting us know the journey's not over, as soon as we think we've caught the groove. This brand of inventiveness might make a lesser outfit crash & burn under the weight of its ideas, but PCP rides the razor-edge expertly, never falling into predictability, tiptoeing along the precipice to chaos, but never caving in. The most obvious piece of the PCP puzzle is guitarist Trevin Pinto, who paints over top of the beats & grooves with equal parts insinuating funk and arena bombast, slinking through these songs like a phantom one moment, chugging through your guts like a freight train the next, Pinto's an encyclopedia of guitar moods, channelling Hendrix to Van Halen and doing so authentically, effortlessly, his guitar liquid. Yes, boys & girls, PCP is the real deal, arguably the soundtrack of the post-modern everything. But decide for yourself. Their CD is called Vol. 1, which hints at the inevitable, and something tells me they wouldn't have it any other way." - BC Furtney (review of V1 from CD Street)
