• "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

• "4 Stars... Qwiksand is a four-piece band that 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. "The Fellowship of the Groove" is about as far away from over-produced as you can get; remaining raw and unscrupulous yet really damn funky. 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.

• "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

• "Tireless promoters like Qwiksand make packing the house seem easy." -Music Phone Book, USA.
