"They have gained a growing reputation in Canada and Europe for their unique brand of Indian Rock, touching on contemporary sounds and issues. In fact they have risen to the top of a new genre of Aboriginal music." - Jim Compton, APTN

"Die Musik der vierkopfigen Band aus dem kanadischen Winnipeg kommt alles andere als atherisch und okologisch-spirituell daher. Die vier Musiker rocken: laut, fetzig, manchmal sogar rotzig. (The music made by the four band members from Winnipeg/Canada is not just ethereal and ecological-spiritual. The four musicians rock: loud, wild and sometimes even snotty)" - Peter Muller, Stadt St. Gallen Switzerland

"Their music weaves acoustic and electric rock styles with world beat, rhythm and blues and funk. These styles are accentuated with the rhythms and music of Native North America, creating a very eclectic and engaging live show" - World Beat Festival
