Show Review by Matt Bower from deadrhetoric.com:-“The band’s moniker includes the words “THE Most Authentic Queensrÿche Tribute,” and they more than live up to that claim. Andre can hit all the highs, but it’s more than that, as both he and Shonna sing with power and emotion. Bassist Mike Kaz and guitarists Barry Collins and Justin Grimm provide melodic, harmonizing backing vocals alongside the shredding and riffing, while Dennis King delivers an authentic Rockenfield performance behind the kit. As someone commented on one of the band’s posts about the show, this is as close as you will get to the real thing.”

Fan Reviews:

-“Great show, the band does Queensrÿche fans proud ..Great Singer and the band Rocks!”-“AMAZING! What a great time everyone had at this show!”
