This CD has earned a permanent place in my rotation. I saw you guys in SD at the belly up and have speard th word of your good music. Can’t wait to buy the second album. This is one of those CDs that if you put it on repeat you will listen to it ten times without getting burned out. Keep the integrety!!! I hope you make it back to SD soon.

This band rocks! I’ve been a roots and reggae fan all my life and this is real, fresh and rockin! These guys have it locked in and the CD is super-well produced and phat. I’ve also caught these guys live a couple times — they put on a great show. Buy it, hear it, love it!
