Sounds Like

"Refreshing and thrilling - like an ice cold beer in a rain storm on a hot summer night."-Current Weekly

"Part funky blues, part modern rock, there's little in the band's music that can be pigeon-holed or deemed repetitive... these songs express contemporary fears and realities, leaving you wanting to hear the next one, and the next one, and the next."-Jersey Beat

"The architects and founders of Post Classic Rock."-The Deli Magazine

"To be living there on Foundry Street… it could be nice. Well, if the Bill Owens Five was performing at the corner bar, it would work out just fine. The Bill Owens Five, out of Hoboken, New Jersey has been setting trends in alternative rock for quite some time now, and it’s just a matter of time before their distinctive blend is topping iPod playlists everywhere." -PensEyeView.com

"...when the Five keep it moving, the good times roll." -Origivation

"...them be some good rockers man!"-Home Grown Radio NJ

"...a little Bad Company ... a little Black Crowes."!"-WHRW
