"Maybe its Brad Zeffren’s slightly nasaly, early Dylan-esque voice. Maybe it’s Zeffren and Derek Pulvino’s moody, twangy guitar licks. Ben Obee’s looping basslines or Moises Padilla’s steady rhythmic percussion. Nathan Spicer’s shimmering keys, or Kristen Ward’s backing vocals on “The Heist”. Nailing down the quality that makes Hurricane Chaser’s debut sound so immediately and comfortably familiar is a tough task..."
"... it’s easy to see this band and it’s players making big names for themselves."

Standout Tracks: “The Heist”, “Barricades”
"This is good rock and roll. The song is Racing A River. The next cut, The Heist didn’t disappoint either. The insistent guitar riff that anchors the song rocks the band through a song of robbery gone awry.
Sparrow features Zeffren’s vocal over a latin spiced rhythm laid down by Obee’s snaky bass line and Padilla’s percussion. When the lead guitar comes in, full of passion and distortion, the song really takes off. Crowds of the City is a nice rock number with solid guitar work. Barricades was one of my favorite songs on the CD... the band rocks.
The Map Is Not The Territory is a very strong offering from Hurricane Chaser. This is a band with strong commercial potential."
