Press reviews
"Frank Singer, ... principle composer and guitarist, composes with such high energy and creativity that each arrangement reaches peaks and explores valleys quite unlike the one before.  Often, what beginsas a jam session becomes the band's next tune once Singer's formidable composing abilities have a chance to work on the jam's recorded sound." - Bay City Nights
