Press Reviews 2nd place at Rockfest 3/16/01, radio airplay on Rock101 and WFNX, Gang Related hit #88 on the "heavy metal" charts on 3/26/01.Quintessence Mag: "...built upon heavy metal, thrash, punk, alternative and that "nu-metal"... would be my opinion from listening...old school Killing Joke/Misfits to Manson and System Of A Down with anything inbetween that is offset musically...this is quite different and fresh for the underground community to check out." http://community-2.webtv.net/metal-essence/QUINTESSENCE20
