"Sworn Independent has a raw energy that maintains the rabid beat throughout the song, kicking into a scorching arrangement during the chorus. The title trumpets the independence that bursts out of this song. The performance is clean and the composition is smooth and perfect. The melodies are simple but work well for this song. The production is very good with a solid mix. This song is volotile and energetic, a powerful work of art!"

"the lyrics of Can't Stop The Fire dish out a smashing dose of 'badass' and the whole song chimes through in the boisterous attitude and searing language that makes this a classic rock song. The music takes us back a good 15 to 20 years when 'glam' and 'party' rock reigned, but with a definite edge that fits this song cozily into today's market. The vocals have an aggresive, biting style that is good for the song. The performance took me on a wild ride down memory lane where I bore my chops on great acts like Van Halen, Guns n' Roses and Skid Row. But this song maintains a grittier edge that I can see fitting in today's musical landscape as a retro hybrid. Excellent songwriting and composing! You might have to work an angle when approaching these cookie-cutter A&R reps that think they have the next hot sound for guys at the top like me. But work your retro angle because us suites have respect for rock's roots."
