Sounding as if a lifetime of hard living has left an indelible mark on his vocal cords, Wilkinson's distinct growl roars over the band's crunchy guitar crunchy guitar riffs and entrancing melodies.' Kathleen Wilson -Willamette Week Magazine 'these Portland veterans prove they are among Portland's finest ensembles and quite possibly the most underrated band in the city's history.' Andre Hagestedt KXL Radio 'Perfect loud with the top down this summer, this giant slice of neo-psych rock pie's catchy and melodic riffs will leave this classic embedded in your brain.' Willamette Week Magazine 'The album's big beat guitar sound is a constant thanks to Wilkinson's classic rock influences: Kinks, Stones, the Who, Iggy Pop and all the other young dudes. Craig Stahr's Technicolor guitar riffs animate and articulate the Mission 5 sound. Add smart arrangements and the locked-in rhythm section of drummer Rick Barry and bassist Roland Klasen, and you have a band that manages to be raucous and thoughtful at the same time - the best of tricks.' The Oregonian 'Singer Steve Wilkinson's front man charisma, always a winning element in the increasingly generic rock formula, keeps attack in focus. 'Carlos Marcelin - The Rocket Magazine.
