"Age/Occupation" is a big hooky event with pulsing guitars, armies of vocal harmonies and pumping rhythms. Its filled with gonzo driving guitars that knife up the hook levels to maximum and just does not stop, with the end of the mini-CD leaving you excited for a bright future for Ari Shine. -Not Lame â¨â¨

â¦a warm and friendly radio mix, but the guitars still crunch and howl. -Rhapsody â¨â¨
Simply put: heâs added an integral chapter to the book of modern pop rock. Listen with a fine-tuned ear, and youâll agree. Rating: 10/10 -Mammoth Press


Ari Shine manages to create a thoroughly modern rock sound with driving melodies. This is a very promising debut. âWhitsbrain


The pefect combination of pop and rock. A little taste of LA in one nice 6 song package. Highly recommended.

This is pop music at itâs most savvy: a stunning blend of humor, wit and catharsis that I smesmerizing upon first listen and begins to feel like an old friend after a few more.

Shineâs solo EP Age/Occupation is beautiful. Furthermore, the EP has achieved an unprecedented level of critical acclaim for a debut.
