"Holland’s very own Roadburn Festival has become Europe’s leading underground festival for psychedelic, avant-garde, doom or any other variation of leftfield sonic pleasures that push the boundaries of music.

Originally a spin-off of the Roadburn website, the Roadburn Festival has emerged as an event in its own right. It brings together bands, fans & media from around the world. Despite it’s international acclaim, Roadburn Festival retains an underground vibe and ethics, but with seriously big-league production values."

"The pure moods distilled into self-accompanied chord melodies have a transportive quality. There's a fear in me that despite the all-encompassing archival nature of the internet, music like this is at risk of being lost. So I'm glad Wohl is out there, still making it heard."

These days, if one is an obscure music enthusiast with an aversion to the mainstream and also perceptive to the goings-on in the scenes to which one’s personal musical tastes subscribe, one easily sees independent record labels popping up all over the place. Many of the very same labels one first noticed the year before, however, are for whatever reason nowhere to be found this year, and certainly won’t be around the following one. Most of them are short-lived ventures; here one minute, gone the next. There are a myriad of different reasons why that happens, of course. But what it comes down, quite simply, to is this: only the individuals who own and operate their record labels properly are successful…to the extent that small outfits on the margins of the music world can be, at any rate. By properly I mean that one must run a superior label, first and foremost, by conscientiously striving to keep balanced the scales upon which art and commerce sit.

The Blues Rock Review gives GravelRoad's latest effort, 'The Bloody Scalp of Burt Merlin' 7.5 out of 10 stars

"The Bloody Scalp of Burt Merlin’s idea of mild-altering blues isn’t actually the main attraction, since it’s hiding under their heavy, driving, cranked-to-11 hard rock sounds."

The Huffington Post had some nice things to say about The Foghorns new single 'Ain't I A Man'

"Cameron sings about an America where economic inequality is the new normal, where citizens are in trouble -- socially and spiritually. An America where cities like Detroit go bankrupt and small towns (like Racine, Wis., his old stomping grounds) have become dreadfully insular."

-Edward M. Weinman, Huffington Post

"This is the sorta album you listen to alone, with a bottle of booze and the stillness of the night to keep you company. Not because it's the sort of misanthropic swill I love so much, but 'cause it's actually worth paying attention to."

-Wizago, Drug Punk
