Dr. Rage & The Uppercuts

[about "Hey, Lil' Sister"]....the Doctor unleashes one hell of a tortured, bluesy, yowl, and he plays a mean-ass guitar. This tune also turns Led Zeppelin sideways with a dash of Black Crowes, and thats pretty damn close to bliss.

VERY TASTY!- Bo Diddley

I need a vocalist that sounds like 4 o'clock in the morning after a shot or 2 of bourbon, and [on this album] I can feel that pain.
- Howard Manshein, 92CITI FM/UMFM

Populated with tremendous riff artistry and crafty percussion, this is a rhythm-and-blues masterpiece with rock-n-roll lurking at every corner.
- J-Sin, Smother Magazine

Muscular beats that smack you upside the head, guitar's as edgy and menacing as a broken bottle and gruff vocals that sound like they've have been filtered through a lifetime of rotgut, regret and unfiltered Rothmans.
- Darryl Sterdan, The Winnipeg Sun

Fine effort by the competent band with a sound deeply rooted in the late sixties and early seventies when rocking was hard and blues was the icing on the cake.
- Vasja Ivanovski, 94.1 FM RADIO 2

If I ever get the muscle car of my dreams these guys will definitely be playing on the stereo as I cruise down to Memphis.
- Amie Lesyk, The Projector

Woven into their straight-up, hard-rock sound is enough 70's rock n roll fever to fill a bong.
- Jeff Monk, Winnipeg Free Press

Great Blues-Rock sounds that take you back to the 70's - freshly delivered by a great lineup. Great listening.
- Andrew Smith, 3NRG

Lock up the bottles, and hide your daughters! An excellent throwback to the sort of down and dirty blues-rock reminiscent of some of the best rock of the early to late 70's. The tracks on this release provide evidence of something that critics are always looking out for rock'n' roll as played by those whose sound comes from within (as opposed to trying to sound like someone else). The moment the disc started, I felt like I should be in a grimy bar somewhere, searching my pockets for enough change for one more bourbon.
- Greg McGuire, Globe & Mail - Acoustic Guitar Magazine

Their music is a mix of blues and rock that makes Nickelback sound like the Backstreet Boys.
- Adam A. Donaldson, LucidForge.com

Fantastic CD! I'm old enough to remember the first CDs of Led Zeppelin and Steppenwolf and I got the same kick out of listening to Hittin' Wood. Authentic, uncluttered, passionate rock......brilliant work!!
- Scott Johnston, KIX-FM

What a great sound from a band that cant be neatly fitted into any musical box! Trying to mix so many genres can often prove disastrous, but Dr. Rage and his cohorts pull it off.
- Tony Bates, Highlands 100.7FM

One of the best discs of the year for me.
- George Maida, 88.9FM WCVE

Really solid blues disc with a rock edge. Highly recommended!!
- Geoff Melton, The Music Korner

Excellent effort. The disc has been in high rotation on the show since I got this CD. Great sound and I love the gravelly vocals. Reminiscent of Government Mule and The Allman Bros.
- Mark Linkson, ValleyFM

A musical masterpiece.
