"...this is roots Americana of a high order... there's plenty of good stuff in such genres as soul, rockabilly, country and get this, 1970s English pub rock... Twang-Ucopia is very much a bunch of mates having a good time knocking out their set live in the studio with minimal overdubs..." - David Osler, Blues Matters Mag "Roots rockabilly from a wily crew with a load of credits ... Whether kicking it out on originals or covers, they understand the genre and the groove and deliver accordingly and appropriately." - Midwest Record Recap "... a healthy dose of Americana, soul and roots music in a melting pot of sound... the four-piece outfit specializes in male-female vocal harmonies sung over roots-rock rhythms.... recorded live in studio, and the result is an immediately catchy, often upbeat and sometimes even sublime mix of both originals and selected covers." - C.Swanson, Bohemian Magazine
