"An exuberant quintet that charms with infectious hooks and poignant lyricism. Their sound marries beloved folk rock sounds with clever twists and turns, resulting in a delightful blend of the familiar and the unique." - Doug Nunnally, The Auricular
"Richmond's 'alternafolkrock' band has a new record out and the whole thing invokes a fun, light tone with songs where everyone is having a good time. Rising features some brand new stuff that I'm digging and solid updates on some classics they've been playing for years. Current favorites are 'Won't Make You Love Me' and "Say It's Not Today.'" - Andrew Cothern, RVA Playlist
“One of Richmond’s most unique-sounding bands”
-Bud Myers, The Breeze Radio
"WKNDR cites The Lumineers and The Head and The Heart as influences, and that modern-indie-folk style infuses this number ["Bridges"], which sounds like it should be coming from the stage of a summer music festival." - Birch Street Radio
