"Playing off the stylistics that would easily satisfy the X-Fest crowd, their big, anthemic choruses and radio-ready sound have made them a fixture on the Dayton music scene."
-Kyle Melton
Dayton City Paper
"The songs don't sound rushed, in fact they have a power
and immediacy that's often overshadowed by studio trickery."
"Pushing Back and Good Intentions, Poor Delivery...have
strong melodies and good musicianship. The trio switches
gears on a few cuts such as Going Home, a complex rocker
with numerous changes."
-Don Thrasher
The Dayton Daily News
"HQAX is one catchy rock band.
They write rock n’ roll built around strong and catchy melodies and hooks. Musically they feature elements of Alkaline Trio-styled pop-punk with moments of upbeat guitar heavy rock."
-Kris Neises

"I wasn't sure, a bit tired after the show, I awoke the next morning with a remberance of a rocking band. Once I got my morning red bull, i stumbled upon a CD, put it in. Rock ensued.
Pushing back my new fav song." Ben ***** from the band Rhonda
"Awesome." Gretchen ******, promoter from the Oregon Express

Our slot has been changed last minute for the Dayton Music Fest tomorrow. We are now playing at Midnight at Canal Street Tavern(not the 1am slot listed on most the schedules). Hope to see you guys.
We're looking for a new bassist. Help us spread the word:) A good friend has been playing with us since the begining of the year, but is moving back to Minneapolis to go to school and we are in need of someone to step in. We've put up a blog on our myspace detailing what we're looking for. Those interested should contact us through myspace or email at band@theStoryChanges.com.
