"Do you have an acoustic night that you want to guarantee won't be stale? Looking to add levity and energy to a singer/songwriter night? Johnny Nocash should be the top of your list. A solo act with more energy than many full bands - the best adjectives to describe his sound are frenetic, machine-gun powered profanity laden smashes. Johnny Nocash is a force of nature, give him a stage and then run for cover, as he takes no prisoners." - Shannon Groves
There is a songwriting style to the band, one they seem to have mastered, with highs and lows, and plenty of contrast. Recorded at Helm Studio by David Partridge, and having listened to the album on my phone, on good speakers, and on headphones, the production sounds great, crisp and bold. The songwriting is strong enough, however, in conjunction with the excellent production sound, this album is an easy sell. - Bas Majzoub
There's a raw, guttural intensity to his howling delivery that certainly gives him some gravitas, and he's also capable of easing back and modulating. And given that the mix can have some pretty effective dynamics on tunes like 'The Deep-Rest' and 'Dagger Road' with the reverb-touched guitars and the ability to go heavier without losing the thicker acoustic grooves and grind of the bass. And when you factor in the prominent celtic folk melodic progressions on 'Pagan Dance' or the bass-driven outlaw country groove of 'Love Song', you hear a band with a ton of potential to write really striking tunes. - Mark Grondin
