Press Reviews "Mike Filipek has a Strong Hold on classic middle of the road rock, flirting with rough-edged Songwriters like Tom Petty & Neil Young." Mish Mash Indie Music Reviews - August 2001 "The many influences on this album work to create a melting pot of rich and vibrant sounds. The Songwriting has an intelligence that I found to be the backbone of this music." Michael Allison THE GLOBALMUSE.COM - August 2001
