Press Reviews "The flawless performance and production practically makes this five-song release immune to criticism. Flytape infuses its songs with enough simple emotion and energy to keep things interesting, from the knotty guitar grooves of "Skorpio," to the sublime rhythms behind "Soft As Birds." -BAM Magazine "The lyrical stylings of Kevin Marks are superb. [Flytape has] achieved a balance between the driving, edgy, loudness of rock 'n roll, and the melodic sound and vocal arrangements of quality music. They can b e accused neither of merely making noise, nor of sounding like a pop band." -Jenni Hayward, Promoter: The Way Out @ Santa Rosa Junior CollegeT
