"A rarity for the high-quality of songwriting and musicianship." - Artvoice
"Any number of songs would make better radio singles than some already in rotation from national bands." - The Buffalo News

- Night & Day
"Great sounding modern rock" - Bass Player Magazine
"Not a dog on this one "Everything's In Between", "Why Don't You Let Me Know", "King of the Broken Hearts" and "Life Just Carries On" are all hook laden and well written something sorely lacking for most music being made today. This is one of the better ones I've heard this year." - BestOfWNY.com

Modern guacamole comes in a variety of forms and the same can be said about Fresh Guac. Letís not get it twisted, the 2 are completely different. For one, you canít eat hip-hop music, but you can dip your hips, much like you can dip the chip. Furthermore, you can rock out to both the edible version of Guacamole and the audible version at a party. So, we feel the title is just and well worthy of comparison. The Spaniards stole the recipe from the Aztecs and they stole the musical version from NYC, but it all equates to good feelings, vibes and relativity. As you listen to this record, think about the metaphor between the edible and audible GuacamoleÖItís made from the heart, soul and culture from which it originated. The sound is undoubtedly fresh and without comparison, so when you finally get the chance to indulge, youíll know its Fresh Guac!
