"Fifth Nation's 'rock n soul' positivity makes for a show that sticks to the bones"

— Mary Otte, HIGH TIMES

"‘Nathaniel’ may just be like no album you have heard before . . . It’s hard to believe that Fifth Nation have managed to keep relatively off the radar for the best part of three years, but in ‘Nathaniel’ they might just have written, recorded and produced their own ticket to bigger things."

— Live4Ever EZine

"...the best anti-drug song of modern times, Gotta Try. The band is Fifth Nation, which sounds kinda like Jeff Buckley meets Erykah Badu" ... "This is how they describe the song: 'In a numbed culture, it's tremendously empowering not to get fucked up all the time.' "

— John H. Richardson, Esquire Magazine

"As soon as I walked in, I was taken aback by the songs and voice of King Julia who just so happened to be on stage at the time." ... "Fifth Nation had me sitting at the bar nearly in tears over my hot mulled rum & cider. Dressed all in white and taking me back to those afterschool afternoons when I used to daydream the days away with poets and purple hairs at 'Mother Earths' cafe in 1992, it was Jeff Buckley's young jungle love reincarnate. Bring a date to the show tomorrow... organic rhythms, jazzy Django guitar, and 100% raw talent, the chicks are gonna love this..."

— Kelle Calco, Club Calco -- Ruby Tuesday NYC

“Their exquiste energy roots deep into the spiritual self, chipping at the callouses within ourselves and society while questioning why we made them in the first place. Their new EP, "TV Is Dead," produced by the almighty Joe Davi, captures the live, gutteral sound of their guitar-vocals-drums setup perfectly. Screw the bass player, he's always late anyway”

— Stephanie Carlin, Stephanie Carlin

"Julia has a very powerful presence due to her voice that personally blew me away. Her vocals were definitely in charge as she electrified the listening audience. She also sang with much heart & conviction as I picked up on a sultry/sensual/seductive/spiritual side to King Julia. She also added some extremely solid & crisp guitar playing along the way. Now, I can’t forget about Music Read who supplied the fresh beats for the entire project. Particularly on the title track, “Flight”, Read really seemed to shine at his drum set with a very flavorful, hip-hop beat. He really added a rock-solid flow to go along with Julia’s superb singing ability. And with a first name like Music, how can you really go wrong! These two compassionate members have joined forces here to create one powerful & distinct sound.

— Jimmy Rae, SKOPE Entertainment

“ So allow me to suggest that you all treat yourself to the healing powers of music... She's really a great musician and songwriter... Praising her "smoky alto" and "delicate finger-picking," rock critic Bill Ruhlmann called her "a promising talent" in the All Music Guide online encyclopedia.”

— John H. Richardson, Esquire Magazine

“Fifth Nation has done everything that they could conceivably have wanted to do on “Flight”; they have established a bold, unique sound, they have linked it to previous masters in music, and they have continued to impress throughout the entirety of this album.”

— James McQuiston, NeuFutur Magazine

“Fifth Nation, with their mellow, R&B-infused jazzy soul, are driven to reach the people with a positive message of consciousness.”

— Zombaby, Artstrada Magazine
