Press Reviews "Acetylene's debut album is hardly a debut experience when listening. This band not only has seasoned professionals at the helm but also a new spirit of songwriting and control over the sounds that come out of this CD. This release is a sign of great things to come from Acetylene, it's catchy, at times emotional and always original from start to finish." ~John Richards, KEXP 90.3FM
