"Sounding as if a lifetime of hard living has left an indelible mark on his vocal cords, Wilkinson's distinct growl roars over the band's crunchy guitar crunchy guitar riffs and entrancing melodies."

Kathleen Wilson --Willamette Week Magazine


"these Portland veterans prove they are among Portland's finest ensembles - and quite possibly the most underrated band in the city's history."

Andre Hagestedt KXL Radio

"Perfect loud with the top down this summer, this giant slice of neo-psych rock pie's catchy and melodic riffs will leave this classic embedded in your brain."

Willamette Week Magazine

"The album's big-beat guitar sound is a constant thanks to Wilkinson's classic rock influences: Kinks, Stones, the Who, Iggy Pop and all the other young dudes. Craig Stahr's Technicolor guitar riffs animate and articulate the Mission 5 sound. Add smart arrangements and the locked-in ryhthm section of drummer Rick Barry and bassist Roland Klasen, and you have a band that manages to be raucous and thoughtful at the same time - the best of tricks."

The Oregonian

"Singer Steve Wilkinson's front man charisma, always a winning element in the increasingly generic rock formula, keeps attack in focus.
