Press Reviews "Here is Milwaukee Band for live music fans to catch. They can funk and rock, and jam while doing it. They put on a powerful set. Their twin lead guitars work beautifully and the alternating vocals add a smoking whirl of voices that's rather rare around these parts." - TIM FORKES, The Milwaukee Shepherd -- D.J. American Mark approves! Everyone (who is anyone, at least) knows that DJAM loves chicken scratchin' guitars, funky bass, and good tunes. This live jam from R. Mutt definitely qualifies. It's a bit J.B.'s and a bit T.O.P., and these are a few of DJAM's favorite things... jump in the Celebrity Hot Tub already! The water's nice and warm." -- D.J. AMERICAN MARK, MP3.com -- "'Earth to Guy' brings together 70's guitar rock with funk-inflected riffs. The best moments are the all-out rockers, their moody turns of melody and fevor suggesting mid-period Clash and roughtly-schiseled slower numbers recalling early 70's Rolling Stones..." -- DAVE LUHRSSEN, The Shepherd Express
