“Upon a first close listen one would say that The Redding Shift's album “Goodbye To All That� is a great mix of pounding rock, with a bit of blues and punk [combined] with a whole lot of grunge. But that would over-simply, as each song takes you to a new frame of mind.�
[Goodbye To All That is] highlighted by dark bass lines with both soulful blues leads and thrash-it-up rock riffs behind Waits-like gravel-rough vocals. Vocal harmonies throughout range from unnervingly eerie yet intriguing; recalling Excene Cervanka and John Doe from the legendary 80's punk band “X�, to the soothing tones of Cass Elliot and John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas, to Sonic Youth.�
- Radio DJ "Poppa Bear"
“The Redding Shift is a truly unique group that just flows. These three just work! Their sound is fun, eclectic and rocks! [The] original tunes are some of the best we've heard...and what they do with cover songs is all their own – and superb. We loved the performance at the Earth Day event and so did the crowd. If you want a band that entertains and keeps ya movin – this is the one!�
- Roxanne James, Owner - Dreamfield Productions
“Today's generation can fall in love with Abby and her bandmates in The Redding Shift. The Nashville rockers have a punkish sound that earns a spot on the iPod.� - Radio DJ Chris Wright
