Strong cohesive sound, rich in all the elements needed to make a strong musical and commercial showing.

Excellent soundage with influences from the early sixties mutating into the future sounds of 2004 and beyond.

Press Reviews Winners of two 2002 Orange County Music Awards for 'Best Pop / Rock Band' and 'Best Song' for "Something To Say". NOT LAME RECORDINGS said: 12 songs, all outstanding and exquisitely recorded, filled to the utter max with gooey, sweet and pure vocals layered and layered, with spot-on guitars that reach heavenward and open up any cloudy sky. Slice after slice of glossy and thrilling and imaginatively played power pop. Scarlet Crush: Come to the Front Of The Class of 2001! Extremely Highly Recommended..... LIVE MAGAZINE said: 12 tracks of terrific pop rock, with killer harmonies, tight arrangements, contagious hooks and thought provoking lyrics. Infectious and entertaining........ O.C. REGISTER said: 'Worth Waiting For' is filled with a dozen gems, the sound of the album is cohesive and rich.....songs that are as powerful as they are crunchy.... THE GODS OF MUSIC said: Refreshing, reflective, tight, light, and airy contemporary acoustic pop. There is not a single reason why this song cannot be added, right now to any Hot AC or AAA station in America. It really is that good.... SUE NAMI said: It seems to me that it would be impossible not to love this CD..... WAYNE RESNICK of KFI Radio said: It kinda makes bands like Vertical Horizon and Matchbox 20 sound like a big old bucket of horrible puke!.............................
