This EP shows that The Brow Horn Orchestra are well on their way to being a prolific player in the Australian music industry. Can’t Afford This Way Of Life is a tremendous effort and sets the exceptional benchmark of energy and musical talent the band brings to their performances. The next best thing is to see The Brow live. - Xpress Magazine
We're going to kick it off in Perth with the much loved Brow Horn Orchestra. This band have picked up a swag of awards over the past couple of years; best live and hip outfit at the Perth Dance Music Awards; the best funk act and best music video at the WAMi awards and Drum Media in Perth has marked these guys as the next big thing so I reckon it's fair to say that their debut EP is pretty hottly anticipated. - Triple J
I thought I'd play you a song that I really enjoyed, it started off with a language warning and I thought oh here they go with the swearing but I found myself really enjoying it and I think the actual language in it is a bit of a Cee-Lo Green reference, so have a listen out for it. The band is called The Brow Horn Orchestra and the tune is called Every Single Day, let me know what you think. - Triple J
This band are what showbiz is all about. - Drum Media
Now there's a horn section to nod your head too. - Triple J
This young band exudes groove and only gets better with every viewing

The Brow Horn Orchestra vocalist Rezide got so caught in his electric stage show, he failed to notice that his bum was on display for most of the set. Once he realised, rather than pulling up his pants, he stripped down to his navy jocks and finished the set sans shorts. Dripping in sweat he worked a majority of the crowd into a hyped frenzy. Bar a bum shot punters couldn't help but keep our eyes locked full frontal.

What I thought a number of years ago, going back in time, is here’s a band that enjoy themselves up on stage, you know they are not afraid to be doofuses.
- Peter Barr, RTR FM 92.1 Breakfast Show - RTR FM 92.1
The 9 piece ska/hip hop outfit consisting of percussion, brass, keys and vocals put on an entertaining show, grabbing the audiences' attention with their fun music and quirky stage presence (which included partial nudity from Rezide ending up in naught but cock jocks).
- John, Cut & Paste - Cut & Paste
The Brow filled the stage with barely organised chaos including glowy ball twirling and a groove more infectious than swine flu.
- Sharyn Romaro, WA Editor, Fasterlouder - Fasterlouder
They should be seen live by everyone. Again and again and again.
- Anne Johnsen, Fasterlouder
- Fasterlouder
The Brow are truly an alphabet soup of talent that blend genres seamlessly and effortlessly.
- Emiko Watanabe, Fasterlouder - Fasterlouder
(To Emcee Rezide) You're one crazy motherf*****!
- The Doctor, Triple J / Frenzal Rhomb - The Doctor (as said to Emcee Rezide)
The nine-piece Brow Horn Orchestra are a seriously funky and fun hip-hop outfit, whose dynamic and charismatic performance quickly drew a large crowd. With myriad instruments ranging from horns (for once, the tuba actually looks like a cool instrument), clarinet, keyboard, bass, guitar and drums, it was a surprise that they were even able to fit everyone onto the stage, let alone jump around. MC Rezide was a mini-spectacle unto himself, from his impassioned delivery, energetic pounding of the cowbell (all songs need more cowbell) and his foray into the crowd with a megaphone. Brow Horn Orchestra also conjured a carnival atmosphere half-way through their set with some light twirling and juggling. They left with a little, “Love you.” Love you too, Brow Horn Orchestra.

Adding several more musicians and a butt-load of brass was The Brow Horn Orchestra. With unadulterated energy, the group defies anyone not to at least tap a foot to their contagious concoctions. Early on, the dance floor was already packed. - Xpress Magazine

Beautifully arranged and featuring sweeping keyboard lines and horn stabs, 'Fade' by Perth outfit Brow Horn Orchestra is a real pleasure. Reminiscent of blissful summer nights, its soulful and funky melody instantly elevates your mood. Great fun.
- Alicia Sim, Wire Mag (West Australia)
This new track is a real beast. You've managed to pack a lot into this three-ish minute tune including a creamy, smooth opening, some stomping production, charging horns and a twisted rap bridge. All hail Brow Horn Orchestra. (On single 'Fade')
- Dave Ruby Howe, Triple J
Brow Horn Orchestra's laid back but cheery rock-pop is a warm, fuzzy ride of good times, no responsibilities and a jolly brass section
- Ellie Freeman, Rave Magazine
The Brow Horn Orchestra certainly know how to make some quality noise. Every Single Day demonstrates the band's diverse musical talents with its eclectic mix of brass and rapping proving that they're remarkably good at exceeding all expectations by keeping their sound fresh

Simply put, this band is at the top of their game and they certainly take advantage of their plus-sized band with an interactive live show to boot.

I am no doubt repeating every other Perth music writer who has seen them by saying they have the potential to be big. Really big.

By the time the WAMi award winning Brow Horn Orchestra took to the stage, Riverside was well and truly chock-a-block as the incredibly young and talented 8 piece group had the dance floor trembling late into the night.
