The best kept secret in music

"The Niagara music scene is about to be taken over by a bunch of raving psychos...All the energy that was lacking in the music of --EDIT-- was made up for by the first five seconds of the music of Erick Von Erick and the Raving Psychos exploding in the tiny bar. Aches and Pains started the set to an excited reaction from the audience. The performance was led by singer Erick Von Erick with his David Bowie-like voice and his ironic sexuality. It was characterized by his over-the-top front-man dancing and the pumping of his leather-clad fist." - Niagara News
"The Hound of Munich is an upbeat album (for the most part) that’s drenched in the sweat of ‘80’s influenced pop and modern rock sounds. The ‘80s influences really shine in the operatic, Freddy Mercury styled vocals in “Raving Psychos.” While other songs like “Aches and Pains”, “Television”and “Distance” prove that EVE are far from a one–trick–booby–pony." - Pulse Niagara
"The band's set was energetic and danceable. While songs had an undeniable sense of humour, there was an emotional quality to Von Erick's vibrato vocal delivery that the audience could connect with. Their musicianship was seamless and their sound extremely professional." - Niagara News
"The band's onstage persona is just as grandiose as its sound: a slight throwback to '80s pop with just the right elements of glam-rock."..."The band has received a great deal of local support, not only from die–hard fans sporting EVE branded pins and t–shirts, but also have received some radio exposure on 97.7 HTZ–FM. “An Ode to Boobies (in D minor)” has received some significant airplay during one of the segments on the local station’s morning show. “Ode to Boobies” is a hilarious pop song complete with euro–trash, drum machine beats, an extremely catchy chorus and tongue–in–cheek lyrics" - Pulse Niagara
"...interesting to say the least. Fronted by what looked like the bastard offspring of Brandon Flowers and Freddie Mercury, they were all classic rock riffs and new wave synths, studded wristbands, dubious moustache and cheese-rock poses. Initially I was aghast, but when I began to pick up snippets of lyrics - "there is Autobots on the autobahn" and "boobies - I like them very very much" - that I realized that there was the distinctive whiff of irony in the air and then Erick Von Erick & The Raving Psychos - yes, that's right - went from being one of the worst things I'd ever seen to one of the best"
