“A really interesting talent, he has a real ability to make you stop what your doing and listen, his voice and Guitar is very hypnotic. Brilliant Guitar Work. Good to see some real talent from the UK for a change!” - Craig www.rocklinks.co.uk
“Great vocal talent, inventive lyrics, fabulous spine tingling guitar, well arranged, well recorded. Superb music, which appears to have been written for the love of music rather than for the purpose of any bandwagon. Can't fault this at all.”
- Review by Izzie Voodoo at www.vqsnewmusic.tv
“Simon Jaymes is gold. With a sound like top-selling Dave Matthews Band and Daughtry, his commercial draw is undeniable.”
- Review by Breanna Wilson of Bryan Farrish Radio Promotion 1828 Broadway, 2nd floor?Santa Monica, CA
