"Mike G Presents, NYC Promoter"

"You'll hear many music industry execs talk about the X-factor, it's the special thing that differentiates an artist or a band from mediocrity and from being stars. These guys are stars. It's very rare to find a band that can really connect with a mass appeal audience yet still have an original and rocking sound ...All I can say is go see them live and you'll understand." - Mike Guerriero


"Kaj Roth"

"...very atmospheric music and singer Daniel Dean has a warm and emotional voice ...they write music that breathes longevity...strong songwriting skills indeed, my compliments to the band!" - Melodic.net


"David De Young"

"Dmitry Iyudin's guitars and Daniel Dean's vocals helped raise my spirits as much as my coffee and the sunshine. There's a universality in their lyrics, passionate, inspired, and delivered with sincere, smooth precision that help make these songs instant contemporary anthems." - HowWasTheShow.com


"HIP Video"

"3RD CULTURE display a remarkable level of musical sophistication for a relatively youthful band. The textured guitars layered over deceptively simple rhythms gives them a sound that's lush, intricate, but far from cluttered. This is some really expert musicianship.

The best thing they have going for them, though, is probably Daniel Dean's voice. He's got a rare combination of emotional communication and power that is perfect for their songwriting style." - Andy Gesner


"EW"

"3rd Culture successfully follows the formula institutionalized by U2. The music is raw, the energy is high, and the choruses are anthemic. This is what radio should play - rock with a hook AND a melody. "Heartbreak City" screams "Gossip Girl" and that’s a good thing." - MICHAEL SLEZAK, Entertainment Weekly


"VH-1"

"Multi-format hits waiting to happen in Heartbreak City, Radio and Heaven. Great vocals, great production, great sound - what else do you need?"

- (RYAN T. FREDERICK, VH-1 International)


"Sony"

"3rd Culture may span the globe but at heart they are a true American rock band with Top 40 sensibility and a non-pretentious demeanor. The EP highlights their 80’s vibe with a modern edge. Standout tracks include "Radio" and a cover of The Psychedelic Furs’ "Heaven". An energizing set likely to please the college crowd and young-at-heart alike. Perfect soundtrack material."

- (DOM LECONTE, Sony Networks)
