2/9/08- New review in for The Calm Before:
"I’ve always thought it was impressive if an artist could keep my attention alone with a guitar. I know this album does have other people playing on it, but it’s clearly antifolk trailblazer Lach at the forefront. Think Bob Dylan. Only more punk-rock influenced. And more audible."- Ben Rodriguez- TLChicken.com
