The Whipsaws cast off the misguided music industry notion of categorization and, in true Alaska pioneer spirit, see boundaries as something to cross, not a place to get held up. Hard and aggressive, crunchy and raw, twangy and roots-deep, subtle and heartfelt — these are all accolades that accurately reflect upon The Whipsaws, driven by attitude, belief and imagination-capturing lyrics. http://taprootalaska.com/the-whipsaws/

“A dark, mystical air hangs thick as a hot night on the bayou when Soda and His Million Piece Band convene. And with echoes of Dr. John's Cajun honky-tonk and Nick Cave's raw tales of woeful life and love, the band's self-titled debut could serve as a dusty, horn-and-mandolin-filled soundtrack to "Carnivale." That it comes as a brainchild of Soda -- former guitarist of the mid-'90s MTV flash Wax, a band best known for its Spike Jonze-directed video of a guy on fire running -- could come as a surprise.” Frank Farrar - Los Angeles Times - Los Angeles, Calif. http://taprootalaska.com/soda-gardoki/
