"I've been a big fan of Jeff Martin since his days as the frontman for Surgical Steel, a band from Phoenix, AZ. This record not only shows of Jeff's skills as an excellent drummer and vocalist but also his very underated song writting skills. And as a big guitar geek it was a pleasure to hear such greats as Paul Gilbert, Michael Schenker, and Russ Parrish. Over all I was very impressed with the songwritting as well as Jeff Martins performance. I highly recomend this record to anyone."

Introspective rock

"Jeff Martin, of Racer X fame comes alive on this debut album of songs. His lyrics are sharp, unique and poetic and the melodies are right-between-the-eyes rock. While it's evident that Jeff takes writing songs seriously by the interesting layering, it is also clear that he doesn't take himself too seriously due to the twisted humor he hides in the lyrics. His drumming is, as always, fast, accurate and powerful. You can hear bits and pieces of a lot of different influences...Zepplin, Uriah Heap, Captain Beyond and of course, Racer X. Overall, a great collection of hard-hitting but enjoyable Rock."
