Press Reviews "A lyrically biting and inventive sound best described as U2's Bono meets The Prodigy." Billboard Magazine "His passionate words float in and out of melodic, electronic grooves. Thought provoking and strikingly novel." LA Weekly, Los Angeles "Barnes' vocals combine the dramatics of Freddie Mercury, the passion of Eddie Vedder, the mournfulness of Morrissey, with the sweetness of Michael Stipe." Bay Area Reporter, San Francisco" Barnes is an amazing new talent, shouting rhythmic, poetic lyrics to punctuate his primal electronic tunes." Entertainment Today, Los Angeles" Loud Boy Radio" is as polished, radio-ready, and sonically-pleasing a debut as Nine Inch Nails' Pretty Hate Machine." San Francisco Bay Times
