"Somewhere between electronica and great 8-bit soundtracks lies Disasterpeace, an experimental arrangement band possesed by the haunting sounds of gameboy sound cards and everything good that came out of Kurzweil in the 80's."
The Justice . Brandeis University
"Berklee student Rich Vreeland, the first to take the stage that night, played 45 minutes of electronica under the moniker Disasterpeace. He played a heavy, effects-laden electric guitar accompanied by other electric sounds courtesy of his Macbook. His ability to keep time and never lose track of the bizarre time signature of his songs was impressive, especially since it was his debut performance. The crowd seemed duly impressed with his guitar-playing skills, but the effects-drenched pieces made it unclear what and how much he was actually playing."
Infinite Game Music
"I'm not just listening to music, I'm being taken on some kind of fantastic adventure courtesy of Disasterpeace. I think his approach to chiptune composition is refreshing and unique." - TrueStar
