“They get better with age. They have proven that with their 3rd album, cleverly titled 6 Foot Shorty. This is an artistic creation that Better Chemistry should be proud of. This album is for everyone, with tracks like 6 Foot Shorty and the mixing of Eric “DJ Wood” Woodruff that peppers this album with a bit of hip hop, and “One Night Stand” that has a rock-punk feel to it, to the reggae influences and horns on “Sixty An Eighth”. The voice of the lead man, David Monaco, is diverse enough to pull it all off. Just a positive album to have in the collection. It’s in mine...soon to be in yours. ”

— Resin Magazine

“Reggae music feels like ocean water, Ska feels like a pack of B-12 vitamins, Indie music feels real, Lover's Rock feels like affection... Better Chemistry is a band that is not afraid to explore all four. From the Los Angeles area, this talented and dedicated group of irie scene-sters are both making an impact and releasing music that the world needs to hear. They actually have included Reggae icon and legend Mr. Pato Banton on a few tracks, and have opened for such greats as UB40, BB King, Aggrolites, and this writer's personal favorite Reggae band...Steel Pulse. If you want to feel better today, listen to this band. We are extremely happy to welcome Better Chemistry to Eclectic, Inc. You can check them out on both our Eclectic Talent Pool and Our Member's Links pages. The world needs more Reggae. It just does. Thank you and welcome, gentlemen! ”

“Crack open the reggae/rock hybrid’s latest release, 6 Foot Shorty, and you’ll see that this terrific troupe’s employed the skills of folks like Jurassic 5’s Chali 2na, plus reggae revolutionaries Tippa Irie and Pato Banton. Not an easy feat, to say the least.”

— Waleed Rashidi, I.E. Weekly
