Albums Ex-Saf : Dining Music for the Strange

Press Reviews "'our sound is very indecisive,' said del Castillo, 'but it is rock any way you slice it.' His description reflects the frenzied sounds Ex-Saf pumps out of their instruments... Ex-Saf also focuses on the melodic side of rock music. This is evident when listening to the band's 'Maeva,' where the heaviness of hard rock combined with melody brings to mind a punk version of Metallica with Deftones-esque melodies. With these qualities, combined with incredible musicianship and talent for songwriting, Ex-Saf is destined to keep rock alive and well." ~Pasadena Star News
