PRESS
"Riff Cannon create... killer, Sabbathian sludge... I was honestly left craving more from this quartet, so strong is the material here... Strong and memorable composition... with varied, solid influences such as Electric Wizard and Thin Lizzy, what’s there not to like?
- Blistering.com
"Their three song Mercury Mountain Sampler is so dialed into the fuzz rock aesthetic, I want to check and see if there's a "Little Sweden" section of town, and if there is, nominate this band as acting mayor... I'm thinking the next time they're playing, I ought to stick around..."
- John Pegoraro (StonerRock.com)
"Riff Cannon could be sludge's next big thing, with catchy riffs, thick tones and melodies that, given time, could be Torche-y. Promising!"

”One mean Hell Unit!” - “A southern bulldozer, oozing with a 70’s stoner haze“ - “Sounds like a raging war between Crowbar, The Melvins and Earthride!”
Hey, boys, I think what you are doing this at the height of a band like Alice in Chains or Soundgarden, good melodies, great sound, everything measured, the best, greeting, friends
