Mike Nuneez in his music column Shake, Rattle & Know wrote,"Vintage may play the songs of yesteryear, but the band is as relevant in today's pop culture as mainstream radio rock bands. With a series of shows in Titusville this weekend, Vintage will quickly remind you what made it a local favorite and a regional sensasation." - Florida Today, May 15, 2009
"In the four years that have passed since there first gig, Vintage has come a long way. Since then the band members have finished high school, become proficient in playing their instruments, and established themselves as one of Brevard's favorite groups." - Brevard Live April 2008
Their latest release, the Welcome to Earth, deserves your ear if only for the fact that the lads who recorded it don’t fall into any preconceived notions of what young bands are supposed to be into these days. Welcome to Earth’s timeless tunes and the quartet’s admiration for those who came well before them help renew your faith in music. Youthful and energetic without being angsty, James Spiva, Michael McCord and brothers A.J. and Sean Cummings, already enjoy a devoted local following; by the time people hear the six original tunes collected here, their fan base should increase several hundred-fold. From the confident plod of “1929? to the CCR wig-out of “Runnin’ Low,” everything about Welcome to Earth is wise beyond its years.
