"The layer-upon-layer-upon-layer rock of Summerbirds in the Cellar’s ethereal vocals, blasting guitar, marching drums, and serene synth lines is enough to make me scream, cry, and bellow into the night, thanking God, Jah, Allah, and Yahweh for the opportunity to bear witness."
- Rolling Stone
"The patience precision of Druids further confirms Summerbirds in the Cellar as the region’s most important and talented band." - Reax Magazine
"If you haven't yet put the album on some good noise-canceling headphones, now's the time... enough staying power to land it on plenty of year-end best-of lists."
- Metro Spirit (3.5 of 4 stars)
"Don't know where they came from or how they came up with the longest titled, strangest-named first release but this time go to track ..6 (Beware of False Prophets). The piano, and the guitar play in sync and give you clear directions--this is going to be an interesting ride. Here comes the R.E.M, here comes the chorus, here comes the western poetry, here comes greatness--"We all were waiting..." Spectacular and from out of nowhere, man." - Peter Bochan of WBAI FM
"Chief vocalist Brad Register has a lot on his mind, and he spends the epic, ten song debut With the Hands of the Hunter It All Becomes Dead, dropping introspective, psyche-searching parables into thick, psychedelic washes of sound.. all of which is punctuated by a throbbing synth line thick enough to carpet the floor with" - BreakThruRadio
"A catalyst, in the history of popular music in the 20th century, always seems to come from the underground and effervescing forth until it becomes a lingua franca. Summerbirds In The Cellar might just be the type of outfit to take all the disparate sounds that are today known as "indie-rock" and make something new." - Transform
"With a solid record like this, and lots of touring experience, it's hard to stay under the radar for too long." - The Music Appraisal
