Press

“This band deserves the recognition they are getting, it is extremely difficult to make metal beautiful and they’ve accomplished it”

— Anastasia Honsastle, Pittsburgh Music Magazine

“Provides a true heavy metal sound that appeals to a large audience”

— BarLife Magazine, BarLife Magazine

“One of the hardest working bands in the Chicago-land area.”

— Vision Entertainment, Vision Entertainment

“Fist to the Sky shows so much growth and potential as a band. I was saddened that there were only two songs to listen to. These guys definitely have a handle on what it means to be a heavy metal rock band. Their edginess is unique and impressive.”

— Breanna Keller, Vents Magazine

“As a long time musician I want to honestly say that this was the best original live show Ive seen in a club since 1979.”

— Matt DePasqua, Fist to the Sky. 1st Place Round 2. Battle of the Effn Rock

“The solo in Down Into Hell is so tough, it could turn Rob Halford straight. It blew me away. I’m not making direct comparisons here, but that wasn’t some radio rock cut it and forget it solo, and the backing riff to match was a tasty treat.”

— Bubbs Harris, Indie Music Review

“I get the impression these guys do what they do the way they do it because that is what they enjoy. Hang on to that; don’t let anybody force you into a product mold.”

— Rock Music Critic, Rock Music Critic

“Looking for an immense Powerhouse Metal/Rock band? Fist to the Sky has that feeling. The guitar playing is so exceptional. Down Into Hell is out right one of my favorite songs. The fast vocals/screams, the riffs in the song, the hard drumming beats, and the solos. They are just incredible. I'm glad these guys are from the Chicago area, I will be checking them out soon.”

— Don, Rhythm Reviews

“All of the hard rock you can handle, and one of the best shows you will see all year. The best the Chicago Rock Scene has to offer!”

— Skippy (sound tech/booking agent), The Nite Light Cafe

“Top 5 nominee in the 2010 Chicago SuburbanNites Magazine for Best Alternative band, Best Original, and Best Heavy Rock.”

— Nite Life Magazine

“FTTS is a young group of rockers with fire in their eyes. They are a heavy rock band with somewhat of an alternative twist to their sound.”

— Mario Salazar, www.ChicagosRock.com

“I have always heard good things about FTTS and let's be honest, they are very good once I took a listen to their music.”

— Joey DeMarco, United Talent Coordinators

“I am impressed, you guys are really good. Id like to work something out so we can get you back here at Real Time Sports on another night.”

— Manager, Real Time Sports

“Please get in contact with me soon. I was very impressed with your performance and you need to play here again, soon!”

— Nick Katsilieris, Bada Brew Management
