Fresh rock sound with a flash back to the good old days when rock was just rock. No need to categorize this band, they are just plain rock and they rock. -Yvonne Glasgow - Music Revue Magazine
The local band with national
potential, very mainstream sound with solid songwriting.
-Jim Gleason, VMA Records - VMA Records
Pertty distinct modern rock sound.
Something like Creed. Nice lift in the chorus thanks to the crunchy guitar and vocal harmonies. - Taxi
Azfault Persona
The ever-so-cliché act of modifying words to make them a lil’ off-kilter, "eye-katching," "kwirky" and "kewl" usually results in raising the “DON”T LISTEN TO ME” red flag of skepticism. Luckily, some of us have buried the hatchet and healed the scars left by the “nu-metal” plague that had soiled the pants of rock and metal throughout the first half of this decade. Maybe the Muskegon band has ties to Arizona, for all we knew. And so after finding the new-found strength to actually throw this CD in the player, the result was pleasantly surprising. This album has a ton of substance to it. Azfault’s Persona is good, old rock 'n' roll with big, open chords. Singer Matt Jones honestly croons as well as anyone, and he goes about it in a way that isn’t too angst-ridden or depressing. The vocal melodies and harmonies are as user-friendly as can be, and they are very aurally satisfying. “Fallen” is as good as anything you’ll hear on modern terrestrial radio. The solid rhythm section plays in the pocket, and delicately shifts the sonic mood to draw emotion. Polished tones elevate the bands aura as well. Azfault is obviously the type of band that enters the studio well-prepared. And although there's nothing technically over the top, the band has achieved something far more powerful: the ability to bond as a unit and create awe-inspiring rock music as a whole. Pick this one up, and you’ll someday be able to say “Hey, I used to listen to that band back in the day, before they sold a million copies, and were still named 'Azfault.'" - REVUE Editorial Staff
