“This I thought was one of the most outstanding demos I have heard all year…They’re coming from a place I thoroughly understand, – the guitar crunchiness and funkiness of the Gang of Four and there are modern sounds in here as well. They take it all and give a new twist, and I had a hard time picking which of their 8 songs I should play – I think they are quite good.”
