    "TJ Kong (singer/guitarist Dan Bruskewicz) and the rest of the Philly trio seem to play a contemporary-ancient brand of Americana similar to The Band or, at its crankiest extreme, Captain Beefheart. Spend time with crabby epics like "Everyone We Know" or the curtly clever "Helena Handbasket" and you find that TJK&TAB hardly sound American at all. More like avant-garde blues with a dirty Mersey Beat that'd shame the Animals" (Philadelphia Citypaper).

    The Yes Way's sound draws influence equally from the catchiest Beck, the moody expanses of Grizzly Bear and the raw power of Led Zeppelin. Their songs are based in intricate melody-chord relationships and driven by a propulsive rhythm section... a fusion that is raw, energetic and delicate.

    "Dylan filtered through the Black Crowes...Hollis Brown finishes strong in the feisty pre-punk psychadelia that fits them best." (Vintage Guitar Magazine, February 2010)
