Kyle: We're getting a lot of really positive feedback on it, as well. The people that have bought and listened to it are telling us a lot of good things.

AXS: So far, what song is your favorite to play live?

AXS: Individually, you all had backgrounds in the performing arts ranging from dance to musical theater; how did All The Stops get started?

We’ve gotten some very positive feedback about the music,” said Mojares.

Harrison Nussbaum described new songs as “upbeat and happy” while they “provide a good introduction to the bands energy and talents.” Guitarist Charlie Emanuele commented “There is nothing better than to release your own, original music and to have people enjoy it.”
