Press Reviews "...This is what Live would sound like if they played Ozzfest..." -The Rocket, 1999 "...If you haven't seen Head of Lies (HOL), then you are missing out on one of Portland's best, little known secrets. Their alt rock sound is original, yet familiar. HOL is a must-see band." --Kyle Mangino, JAM Magazine, August 2000 "This cd is six tracks of straight rock and roll entertainment... Overall, like I said, go buy the cd! If you're into Limp Bizkit, Metallica, and 311, you'll really like this one!" --Tig Leonly, JAM Magazine, June 2000
