    This band's name is a really stupid reference the musical myth that it is more diffucult to write or play music using the only black keys of a piano- its not. It might not be the biggest deal to everyone, but I think some people care about this sort of thing and might want to know EXACTLY what they're throwing their support behind.

    This is the band's best yet. [Sep 2006, p.73]

    They take their place among the scruffiest, ugliest and most crowd-pleasing bad guys the West has ever spat out. [Sep 2006, p.131]

    The sound may be retro, but pure blues rock of this caliber is really timeless. [21 Sep 2006, p.84]
