“Quickness cracks the Top ten BC made albums of 2011 in The Province Newspaper : “Quickness, a new band with a punk attitude but accomplished playing, convincing emotion and a selection of good, varied songs.” tharrison@theprovince.com ”

— Tom Harrison, The Province Newspaper / Vancouver BC Canada

““Quickness is Cfox 99.3 Band of the Month for November 2011″ Cfox FM 99.3 (C) Corus Entertainment 2011 (Published Nov 1st 2011)”

— Todd Hancock, Cfox FM 99.3

““Quickness, with it's combination of multi-talented musicians delivers a soulful Incubus-like sound with the heart and drive of Stone Temple Pilots. Their seamless melodies never tire of twisting and turning.” Continue reading on Examiner.com Poppy Cafe, October 20th - Toronto rock music | Examiner.com ”

— Danica Stewart, Toronto Rock Music Examiner

“In a week of good local releases, Quickness is more than the sum of its parts and thus stands out. The self description as a band that mixes punk and reggae didn't sound too encouraging. There are a few bands around B.C. that are doing this already so Quickness appeared to be imitating a blueprint. It suggested, too, that the defunct California band, Sublime, was wielding an influence. Still. However, Quickness is blessed with a talent for writing concise and cohesive songs, smartly constructed and simply stated. As well, Jacob Dryden's vocals are impassioned and his guitar-playing also suggests a Jimi Hendrix influence, which adds an extra dimension to the band. Quickness sounds more versatile and flexible than its rather narrow description indicates.”

— Tom Harrison, The Province Newspaper

“Quickness delivers radio rock in all its post-hardcore glory. Soaring melodies and vigorous riffage... echoing hints of reggae and new-age anthem rock... relatable to anyone with a heart and a social conscience, and it makes for some downright feel-good rock-n-roll.”

— Ben Rowley, Wordpress

“Really dug Quickness last night. Could be a contender for one of the next bands out of Vancouver. Cheap Trick makes a baby with Deftones while listening to old Soundgarden....”

— jay Deachman, Jay deachman
