Reviews

• "Thanks again for coming to Rock the U! You were seriously the best entertainment we had all night. We were able to raise over $70,000 for cancer research, not including donations made by our sponsors. Your music is great and I hope you guys drop by Salt Lake City again sometime soon!" -Associated Students University of Utah.

• "We enjoyed having QWIKSAND down here at San Diego State University earlier this semester. We received great reviews from our students so we'd like to see if we can book the group again." -Associated Students San Diego State University, CA

• Writer Gary Schwind from BrooWaha News in Los Angeles interviews RAS from QWIKSAND about "good vibes, life on the road, and a laundromat in Tijuana." Read the article at BrooWaha

• "Qwiksand did great! It was nice to provide a genre to the students that we don't bring out very often. The guys were a pleasure to work with, I had a great time!" Associated Students University of California Santa Barbara, CA

• "Everything was great. We again are very happy with Qwiksand and I would like to talk about doing a 3 show deal." -Sachi Club, Long Beach, CA

• "The Qwiksand show was fantastic!! It was a great night for our pub and everyone that I talked to enjoyed the show. There were not enough good things to say about the night and I would love to see them play our pub again." 12th St. Pub, Lincoln Nebraska

• In the music section "Aural Report", OC Weekly's Rex Reason interviews RAS about the music, the band and where it's all headed. For more see, OC Weekly

• "These guys are a riot. You will love to see them live with such positive energy you can’t help but smile when you watch them play." -Bitchin Entertainment, USA.

• "4 Stars... Qwiksand combines funk, reggae, rock, and ska influences for a stripped down California beach-tremolo sound... It's a very simple but effective combination: stripped down funk-rock with a powerful backbeat. It's definitely got some serious groove, and I would recommend this to any fan of Sublime or subsequent projects... Beach rock at its best!" Maximum Ink, USA.

• "With the ska of Sublime and the groove and funk of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Qwiksand have created something that is a welcome change from what you hear on your local modern rock station..." -Plug In Music, USA.

• "As energetic promoting their shows as they are when performing them, Qwiksand has developed an extensive network of fans across the West Coast. With support from over 150 radio stations, Qwiksand’s melodic surf funk music is quickly becoming fan favorites in any market the band plays in." -Independent Artist Registry, USA.

• "QWIKSAND are one of the best bands that have aired on our television show. Their live performance of "Beer Goggles" filmed at the Irvine Spectrum was broadcasted on KDOC to over 5.4 million viewers across southern California." -Eric Johnson, Producer, The Buzzz Music Television, Irvine, California, USA.

• "It’s one of the few bands that can resonate something akin to Red Hot Chili Peppers. They’regathering good reviews and are highly regarded as a hot new act. Their live show should surely be terrific if these songs are anything to go by. An impressive song is “Concrete Cowboy”, a rock anthem, while other songs to note are “Black Hole”, where jazzy bass and guitar blend well." Mediasearch, Victoria, Australia.

• "4 Stars... With song titles like Beer Goggles, Phunkadelic and Superfunk, the quartet's goal is clear - they want to funk things up in a big way. Fellowship makes you want to gyrate rhythmically and just go with the flow while R~A~S tears it up on guitar, Wagner brings in some groovy beats and Ferrugia lays down the bass." Pulse Weekly, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

• "I did get the Fellowship of the Groove and I have been diggin’ it, which means spinnin' it. So make it 102 U.S. radio stations and send more copies if you have them and keep us posted if they come into the Metro anytime soon." -Benjamin Johnson, Music Director, 90.1 FM KKFI Radio, Kansas City, Missouri, USA
