“The Found...It’s loud. It’s chunky, sneering, glorious rock and roll as it was meant to be.” - Artvoice, Donny Kutzbach
“The Found are kids who are pulling out the thick shag and groove from bands like Grand Funk Railroad and Ten Years After. It was thunderous and powerful with big guitar, big organ, congas (which added nicely to the throb), and a drummer from hell. This dude was relentless and powerful. The last time I heard or saw something so monstrous, Japanese people were pointing at it and screaming while running in the opposite direction.” – Rochester City Newspaper, Frank DeBlase
"If you ever felt there weren’t enough Steppenwolf devotees, the Found’s eponymous debut last year was the local record for you. It was packed with aggrandized blues riffs and waves of bellowing rock organ, and though it was missing the psychedelic incliniations of Steppenwolf, that was well substituted for with some messy proto-punk aggression. Less than a year afterwards, the Found returned with their bluntly titled second album, Two, which found the young band smoothing out their sound with more traditional R&B elements, while still keeping a Deep Purplish classic rock edge."
—Artvoice, Geoff Anstey
"Their sound finds its base in that classic Maximum R&B feel, and can be compared to the likes of early Deep Purple, Spooky Tooth, and the Rolling Stones era-Beggars Banquet. Though the band has actually played out the better part of a decade already, it continues to refine and redefine its sound as lineups change, and writing styles sink in. The Found's current lineup features your standard drums, bass, and guitar, but highlighted by a bevy of driving organ, keys and vibes, along with an auxiliary percussionist. And oh yeah, they all sing. Together. A lot."
