"Hunter Monroe-Vocals, Kyle Stafirny-Guitar, Joe Malsch-Bass, and Curt Morris Jr.-Drums. This CD is a driving and punchy straight ahead rocker. It smacks of influences ranging from Led Zeppelin to Tim Buckley.Sharp, cutting, and mellow all at once. Hunter's vocals dazzle from start to finish. There is no way to really single out musician from musician here, they all perform exquisitely. The drums are anything but run of the mill, with great accents, dynamics, and other touches throughout. Joe holds the pocket with Curt to no mistake of a well seasoned rhythm section. Kyle Stafirny, what can ya say? If you've never heard his guitar licks, you're in for a treat. While you listen to this CD, make sure to note the amazing production, excellent!! Local studio, Soundmine Recording Studio has released another great nugget. So good, it sneaks up on you. Dan Malsch and Soundmine MusicWorks strike it rich again. This CD is well worth the coin, see Hunter Monroe LIVE and pick one up." - - Scott Flax- N.E.M.O Publication (CD Review)

Hunters intimate vocals and heartfelt lyrics shine brightly. Her voice is light years ahead of the typical singer-songwriter. There is something about her live performance, she is amazing!" - - Kent Obelmon (MCR Weekly)
