For your average listener, the funky blend is sure to prove an intoxicating concoction that’ll have you swaying and hip-shaking on the dance floor." — David Travis Bland "Ropeswing layers terse, guitar-hero solos over fluid, jazz-funk rhythms until they suddenly switch gears, letting loose with full-out rock abandon. It’s a complex mix of styles, but the group’s catchy hooks and melodies smooth any whiplash." — Free Times funky jazzy jam rock hailing from the University of South Carolina
