"So we're back in Canada, much love to everyone that helped make this US tour a success... Highlights: stirring up the jazzers in Boston, rocking the cosmic happening in Burlington VT, tearing the roof off Webster's in NYC along with the mighty Zongo Junction (shout out to the snake lady greeting folks at the door with her python!), laying it down in Washington with the 8 Ohms Band (followed by a private Soul Train jukebox party with the bouncers and their girls!), shaking up the Double Door in Chicago, and finishing things off with a bang at the Triple Rock in Minneapolis with the epic Brass Messengers (the helicon player was the best: not enough helicon players around these days.)"

— SoulJazz Orchestra, SoulJazz Orchestra Blog

“After receiving this hand-delivered CD, I have had it on replay trying to choose my favorite songs. Each song is a head-bobbing, foot-tapping and body-grooving manipulator. 8 Ohms, from Annapolis, is on tour in support of their debut album, “Superheavy,” which was released July 2011 on Pineapple Koi Records. After seeing the band live at Das Best Oktoberfest 2011, I can assure you their live show will blow you away. This 14 track masterpiece satisfies with Horn Heavy Funk with the perfect touch of Reggae, Go-Go, Hip-Hop and a generous helping of Soul. This nonet is comprised of Billy Martin on guitar/vox, Kevin Basiliko on alto/baritone sax, Curtis Lester on guitar, Nick Reider on trumpet, Morgan Russell on tenor sax, Ben Gilbert on bass, Matt Costello on percussion, Marty Weiss on drums and newest member Brad Gunson on trombone. Like their album, listeners can expect an abundant stage with an earful of blissful, solid compositions.”

— Lea Holland, Ontap Magazine

“Within the first few moments of pushing play, I knew I had in my hands and radiating through my ears a compilation of tunes which completely defines unique and amazing! 8 ohms band has created an album harmonizing old school with new, in such an original way, it's incomparable to today's music. A true rarity to say the least, this music could appease any person with even the smallest amount of an eclectic taste for music. A fusion of funk and soul are at the very core of each song's heart. Touches of big band, hip-hop, and reggae pulsate through-out... I think it's literally impossible to sit entirely still while groovin' to ANY ONE of the 12 tracks included. Whether your laid back by the pool, in the car with the windows down, socializing with friends/family, or are just having some relaxation time, 'Superheavy' (which is scheduled to drop July 9th) is sure to be this summer's #1 go-to album.” — Reo Denisuk, Shockwave Magazine”
