Press Reviews I love the track Follow The Sun . It moved me! Steve Kaklamanos,The Spill Magazine Here's a band that has got one aspect of their playing down pat; the song writing. With a wholesale return of this kind of pop musical sensibilities, Funhouse could be the pick of the crop. RPM Magazine, Rod Gudino Listener response to Funhouse was just overwhelming. Music Director, Bryan Levine, WERG - Erie, PA Why are Funhouse not signed to a label?!?! They are one of the best bands I have heard in over 3 years! M u sic Director, Aaron Childs - WSCR-Michigan Funhouse display a level of mature musicianship a definite cut above most independent acts. Kerry Doole - Words and Music -Socan Clay Phillips has to be one of the best Canadian songwriters to come along in a while...Great album, great band! Tom LaFrance - Mainline Promotions ˇ
