The best kept secret in music

“Evan Bliss has a voice that is half sweet and half sour. He tends to start off singing with a voice dripping of honey before revealing a rougher, edgier twang halfway through a song. The strength and fluidity of it grabs a listener and the end result is unique to that of Top 40 tunes.” - Sara McDowell
“Evan Bliss on vocals reminds you a little of Counting Crows? or is it Black Crows?” - Douglas Brisotti
“The Low Life mix head-bobbing rock, funk, and reggae grooves and top them with the buttery vocals of singer/guitarist Evan Bliss.” - Cory Feldman
