" 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.
"SoCal's QWIKSAND melds funk, R&B, reggae and rock styles into a wicked little effort. The retro "Beer Goggles" is laden with funky wah-wah guitar and soulful vocals, like 24-7 Spyz in an Isaac Hayes mood. The haunting island vibe of "$20" and the happy go lucky groove in "Concrete Cowboy" show some of the songwriting diversities as well as the solid chops of the players." Music Morsels, Acworth, Georgia.
"Not a note is wasted as drummer Mike Wagner and bassist T.J. Ferrugla lay down a solid groove in support of the sparse guitar styling of R~A~S and Marlon Hawkins' muscular vocals. Fellowship of the Groove is an enjoyable collection of unself-conscious party music." Norman Famous, Albany, California. USA.
"A regular groove fest, man. Good job on blending all those styles of music into your own special sound." -Alex Oliver, Poppermost / Suicide Pop Records, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
"Qwiksands The Fellowship of the Groove is fun, melodic funk ... Groove is engaging with a strong guitar riff and Concrete Cowboy, poppy and catchy, offers a light, bouncy sound that is more likely to appeal to a wider variety of music fans." Plug In Music, Media, Pennsylvania, USA.
"Remember the bar band in Ghost World who claimed that they played real "down in the Delta blues"? Remember how they came out and played a guitar wanking, torn-jeans wearing, frat-boy style hybrid that whipped the crowd into a frenzy. Qwiksand could easily be that band. Their style is a hybrid of funk, blues and rock, and echoes bands such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Big Head Todd and the Monsters, with a heavy Hendrix influence to boot." -Splendid, Downers Grove, Illinois
"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
"I had a great time in studio interviewing you guys and am looking forward to you coming back. Your concert at the Hard Rock in La Jolla last night was one of the better shows I've seen in a long time." -Kevin Pillow, Assistant Music Director, KKSM 1320 AM, San Diego, CA, USA.
