Press Reviews "UFOs Over El Paso..." "The UFO LOWRIDER play a fusion of metal and funk with hints of psychedelia. What strikes you at first is how clean the recording quality of UFO Lowrider is." "These guys know their stuff. Bassist Darrin Loken and drummer Mark Wright keep the rhythm nice and tight, giving the group a throbbing, chunky groove. And guitarist Mike Kolby plays a mean lead and rhythm." "UFO Lowrider shines on heavy riffing tracks like "Thieves," which is reminiscent of Controlled by Hatred-era Suicidal Tendencies, the White Zombie-influenced "Life of Annie Other" and the cascading "Oceans Glow.""
