-A very personal rock album. He also writes from a very moral perspective, which gives his record a strong POV. These songs are not filled with empty thoughts but actually try to say something. (Vancouver Province)

-Inspiration drips from every distorted and bent guitar note, down-but-not-out vocal phrasing, and sneered lyric. (Georgia Straight)

-Way smarter than average take on the singer-songwriter thing, and ear for what made rock classic. (The Nerve)

-Gritty, intelligent rock songs Wilco & Bob Dylan fans will appreciate. (Vancouver Courier)

-Think Steve Earle with the needle still in his arm. (Discorder)

-A remarkable set of fully-formed pop songs. Melancholy soul-searching tunage. Several of which entail wondrous blasts of harmonica. Solarbaby’s simple rock and endearing lyrics touched me with a wave of happiness. As always the lyrics grab the focus, but DeSouza does play a mean slide guitar that rivals Elmore James. (Exclaim!)

-A lotus land Springsteen with the bite of a pitbull. His music is radio-friendly, thinking man's driving rock. (Lethbridge Herald)

-Chocked with fine writing and rock ensemble playing in the tradition of the Stones/Faces/Replacements with a punky edge and Dylan soul. Tales of scorned love and lost souls are delivered by folky driven guitars. Chunky and satisfying with touches of harmonies, acoustic and harmonica. (Terminal City)

-Damn, if it’s not a solid collection of Rolling Stones and Lou Reed-inspired rock that still maintains indie-cred. (Earshot)

-A spunky, tongue-in-cheek style, with cultural and historical references ranging from the fictional to the fabled. And that slightly skewered perception is starting to win people over. (Chart)

-Iggy Pop meets John Lennon. (The Rocket)

-Sharply produced with Marq’s unique ‘snarl-twang’ vocals and tight musical and lyrical writing. He sometimes sounds like the world’s most pissed-off cowboy. (99.3 The Fox)
