"(Chronic Bliss) ...blend a variety of different musical styles into one modern rock stance. The sound can change from metal to grunge to punk to ska to acoustic and back again. Vocalist Jeff Bower manages to recondition his voice to each change in style, all the while writing some excellent lyrics. (Quite how he manages to sound like Fred Durst without making me want to do a Vincent Van Gogh I'll never know.)" - Greg Bowling
"Chronic Bliss's enthusiasm and excitement captures the audience by performing catchy originals as well as covers with a twist. These guys are probably one of the best bands here in Lincoln and is evident by watching this band live!" - Nathan Lamp
"These guys are so happy playing music you want to see them live. They are also talented, if a bit strange. A mix of reggae, metal, punk and rock, 'Dos' lends a new branch to the music scene. (Chronic Bliss) are totally focused on playing music they can enjoy. Their wide range of influences whips up an oddly balanced presentation." - Hilary Evans
"The whole crowd really takes to them, the women whoop and the men holler! You can't find a band around here with better stage presence." - Rick Hughes
