Press Reviews “Shurmen Steadfest, a band that puts some much needed honor back into the term “pop punk,” The Local Planet.com Jeremy Hadley Spokane, WA “I saw these guys in concert at the Joshua fest and went straight to buy their CD. These guys are awesome and really nice.” Music: 10 Vocals: 8 Message: 9 Punk Reviews.com Quincy, CA “Shurmen Steadfast’s contagious energy reaches fans on and offstage…” “At one point during the CD release party, the band felt the need to warn the audience before performing a slow song. This was probably so fans could avoid whiplash, because Shurmen Steadfast is fast. They play fast, they sing fast, and they encourage their audience to move even faster…” “If Shurmen Steadfast continues to concentrate on their goals, provide the crazy energetic show they always do and, yes, even keep up the comedy act, they could be around long enough to have that greatest hits album…” Northern Light Alaina Buller Anchorage, AK “Not bad for a dozen playful, up-tempo, ska-without horns songs…” Anchorage Daily News Josh Niva Anchorage, AK “If you have ever been to one of their live shows, you have seen the commitment come out in the energy that they bring to the stage. Their performances are far more polished than the ordinary, and they always leave you wanting more…” “If you’re looking for a band that’s going to rock your socks off, and is definitely going somewhere then Shurmen Steadfast is your band. They do it because they love it, and that’s why we love them…” AK This Month Deborah Hutton Anchorage, AK “Of the four bands I heard, they (Shurmen Steadfast) had the best sound…” Anchorage Press Crystal Hutchens Anchorage, AK
