Press Reviews "Cameron Hays is a one-man Generation Excuse. Combining smaples from television and cinema with live music and recorded tracks, Cameron blends his own strain of music which he calls "electronic angst." Melancholy tunes combined with Hays' distraught voice united to give a feeling of dark release." -Aubrey Lyon, The Pioneer Log
