"..these guys are just as worthy of massive success as, well, almost any band that's come out in the last couple years.." Music Junkies Anonymous “4 ½ stars out of 5…I just cannot get these songs out of my head.” Cole Reviews “…akin to the Tragically Hip with less of a chip on their shoulder;…grade: A” Disclaimer Music Review Archive "I like the fact that they've let their inner hicks out for a walk on Metropolis...'North Beach Drifter', 'Vanish', 'Scared To Death', they're all fantastic rockers...A-" CapnMarvel's Rock Record Reviews Bonanza “An excellent album which shows that musical craftsmanship can meet with passionate performances.” Steve and Abe's Record Reviews “...this is a very professional sounding recording that easily showcases the band's excellent musicianship and superior harmony singing” Scott Floman, Goldmine critic - Scott's Rock and Soul Album Reviews "North Beach Drifter is a stone cold wonder and a real potential hit single" Adrian's Album Reviews "this CD reminds me of the post punk era and right around the time U2 made their impact in the U. S. via MTV. Please don't get me wrong, this band is in it's own zone and really sounds much different than the early eighties, sort of early REM'ish" Internet personality WK Mahler "If only radio would play these sort of artists more....4 stars out of 5" Jason Ritchie at Get Ready To Rock.Com “North Beach Drifter” is a tuneful Gem from the Mineral Kings. Adrift in the bohemian North Beach of San Francisco, home of the beat-poets, DiMaggio and Monroe, Little Italy and Chinatown, the lovelorn soul of this song searches in vain for a girl with “the sign of the cross in her eyes”. In a style reminiscent of the Smithereerns and containing tasty a guitar solo, it’s a well-crafted enjoyable pop/rock tune. PRadioFreeTunes Station Master, Paul Carosi (Home of tuneful Free Bird Free Music) "I mean, this album probably is as good as much of the adult-orientated rock that sells by the bucketload but that doesn't mean I have to like it." Jack Feeny's CD Archive "Middle of the road rock and roll, brightly recorded, featuring precise but emotionless guitar from Art Forte and Tony Mòròsini (also on bass and drums respectively) and aggravating, self-important tenor vocals from Carv Tefft ("A Lot Like You" is the worst of a bad bunch). " Wilson and Alroy's Record Reviews Both via email "I got your email. I went to the web site. I listened to some samples. You suck." Rush Manbert "Why do I feel the necessity to remove all my clothes when listening to your CD? My wife is thinking of leaving me, my cat rolls around barking and my dog sniffs aimlessly into the air. Are there some sort of cryptic messages in the music? Subliminal mind altering recording tricks? HELP ME FOR CHRISTS SAKE!!!" Dean Bohana |
