The Ramirez Brothers' self titled debut album opens with quality funk, continues to blues and rock'n'roll and dives into exciting territories- when all these blend together, we get some groove filled musical pleasure.
Feinerman's singing made me feel as if I was listening to recordings from an American country blues club in the fifties. Their album is polished and diverse and is executed with awe inspiring skill and contagious pleasure. - NANA.co.il
Among Tel Aviv’s alternative music lovers, the Ramirez Brothers trio has made a good name for their outstanding lively performances long before their debut album release. 100% analog, The Ramirez Brothers’ recently released album captures that special sound quality, preserving the atmosphere of the live show. “Sizzlin’” featuring Karolina on vocals, delivers stylish rhythmic grooves along with a funky, sunny feeling. - Aurgasm.us
The old-new essence of the album blends in soft funk tunes alongside rough psychedelic guitars. The unique sound is created by the brothers' good chemistry, playing together for almost four years and searching for the right tones.

In the depressing musical reality we live in, the Ramirez Brothers bring a shot of purified life energy straight to the vein.
Guitar, trumpet and drums are all they need to make miracles. It's a pleasure to hear how much richness they create.
If only we had five, even three, albums like this one each year.
