“Overall, a hard rocking slap of bluesy rock, highly infectious and sing along able, ‘Believe’ is an enticing appetiser for the band’s upcoming album. Iron Matthew about ‘Believe’

“Quite remarkable that the band always sounds like a cohesive unit throughout this. Further the recording is excellent and Stoecker has full control over the variety of techniques and tones he employs, wearing his influences on his sleeve without sounding like a rip-off merchant. The vocals are impeccably assembled with luscious harmonies often being employed to spectacular effect.” Chris Hicklin really digged deep into the music.

“A complete album, well written and executed, old-school female fronted hard rock with a punchy modern production.
Highly Recommended”
