Songwriters who have that way with words, that ability to make any phrase sound like rock 'n' roll, they're always interesting, no matter what they're saying or what key it's being said in. What I'm getting at is David Stephenson's vocal range tops many other singers out there and he's able to create entirely different atmospheres for different songs. You've got to admire a guy who can make one song feel distinctly reminiscent of Johnny Cash and turn around to twist his voice so it comes off an awful lot like Marilyn Manson. Yes, I said Marilyn Manson! ++++ Wolfgang Nibori, Happy Horror

I get so many friend requests where you just accept them because they've took the time out to send you one. But your stuff is genuinely great. I love that guitar sound.
***********Lyrics are supposed to sound good. You know, when you sing along in the car at the top of your voice. When the song pokes its way into your brain while you're trying to concentrate at work. Never mind content: Lyrics are supposed to be catchy, rhythmic. Inspirational. Cool. Simple. Unforgettable. Perfect. >>>Jesse Fahnestock, Inkblot Magazine
***********Victory Garden and Hardcore are top notch... and we hate everything! so that's a real compliment. >>>Wyatt Michael Samuel Atkinson if Only Makebelieve
***********(Westport Headlands) My favorite thing he's ever done. I think I listened to it, no joke, ten times at least. The imagery is vivid as always, but the contrast between what occurs to me as a hopeful solemnity and the clear record of society's misdeeds is both true and defiant. I love this song. Thank you, David! >>>Trevor from Berlin
