"If there was ever band that was the sister to San Diego's own No Knife (era-Fire in the City...), and the cousin to Counterfit, Adios would be her. These four eighteen year old lads from Akron, Ohio have really taken the time to create a mature and cohesive record that will not disappoint fans of bands like the Appleseed Cast, Hey Mercedes, Mineral or Mock Orange (second album). The album artwork is sharp, the recording is clear and well mixed and overall The Ropes is a really solid release for both Adios and Tribunal Records." SanDiegoPunk.com 2003
"Pleasing and powerful are two words that cross at many a varied path. But when it's done right, the warmth and emotion that such an understanding can convey is second to none. The ability to combine dynamics and atmosphere without falling off the dock into the sea of boredom is a rare trait exemplified by few bands, but Akron, Ohio natives ADIOS possesses such knowledge. On Situations, the band is so deeply entrenched in the world of melodic emotion, it appears as though they, themselves, are the very definition of the dynamic sound. Their songs incorporate powerful guitars and fierce concise drumming with strong, emotional vocals. Intricate, weaving and deeply personal, they bounce from subtle to emotionally spent, only to return from whence they came." Amazon.com
