The Sumner Brothers are, in my opinion, the most talented band
Vancouver (if not Canada) has seen in a long time. Their sound is so pure,
so honest, and so good. Seeing them live is a revelation; listening to their
recordings is a profound experience. What they have to offer is more than
entertainment - its medicine. They are my new favorite band.

Ill just label this eclectic, damn good and for this writer, perhaps
countrys saviors.
SKOPE MAGAZINE

Honesty, courage, and moral fiber cannot easily be hidden or disguised.
These guys have it. Now I know what it felt like to have a young Johnny
Cash wander in from the street with a guitar.
AMERICANAROOTS.COM

This aint no novel, by God, its non-fiction. Real, bleeding, pissing, moaning,
crying, pleading, questioning, bone breaking, eye-gouging, ear-biting, down in
the dirt fighting for your life kind of music, written from somewhere near
total despair, but with a frightening amount of inner strength and peace
despite the circumstance.
LONESTAR MAGAZINE

Their music is about light, though it is not afraid to explore the dark.
Their music is about hope, but it does not ignore despair. Its a mournful
Johnny Cash, a repentant Willie Nelson, a reflective Stompin Tom. Its the
power of boozy sincerity and hopped-up honesty, and that, brothers and
sisters, I can get behind.
