Press Reviews "Besides Prince himself, the most vocal Twin Cities artist to pick up the gauntlet." -Peter Scholtes, City Pages (Mpls.) "Wow, for a hand-written CD-R with no track listings and no biography to go by, this is the BEST THING I’ve put in the CD player for review this time round. Their first track seems like an answer to New Edition’s “Mr. Telephone Man” for the millennium using terms like [411 and] “56k” performed in the style of JJ Fad or early Salt N’ Pepa. I love this kitch in-the-moment stuff! But seriously, who is this band?!!" -Celeste Tabora, Pulse (Mpls.) “FUN, FUN, FUN!!! If artists actually started responding to each other on a regular basis, maybe we’d actually be ENTERTAINED instead of just stomaching the same old thing.” -Robyn Calbreath, Mocking Press (St. Paul) "Lyrics- dead on and beautifully written. Vocals- VERY sexy and appealing!!!" -Review, theglobalmuse.com “Telephone captures a romantic and edgy electronic energy... Definitely NOT your typical ‘Love’ story!” -Jules Nyquist, 90.3 fm [KFAI] (Mpls.)
