"The well-established RubberSideDown anchored the night with a Gibson-wielding classic rock-infused style that is suited to Betty's intimate environment but would fill every inch of an arena.."
-- SF Weekly, Michael Cash
"Pure classic rock - top shelf - served straight up, no chaser."
-- Drum Magazine
"OK, these guys are about 10 minutes from hitting it really big."
-- Sugarbuzz Magazine
"...an upwardly mobile San Francisco band that sounds ready for arenas." -- San Jose Mercury News
"These guys are loud as f**k."
-- Jimmy DeGrasso (Megadeth, Suicidal Tendencies, Alice Cooper)
"....melodic, guitar-driven songs and insightful lyrics tinged with pain....sensual bass lines, penetrating guitars..." -- Metro Active
"....(with) crashing cymbals and thunderous bass lines, ZeroFighter takes us back to the rock future. In a music market saturated with indie this, pop that, RubberSideDown strives to be different and gets back to the sort of rock seduction that makes Van Halen, AC/DC and Aerosmith so appealing. Truthfully, this glam/rock sound is hard to come by"
-- The Owl Mag
"From the first blam of the guitars, and the hit of the drums on the opening song, this band got my attention....that rare blend of bad boy appeal mixed with genuine enthusiasm....that spells rock star. So I stuck around. And the songs pulled me in...."
-- Kimberlye Gold, GrapevineCulture, live show review
