Press

““Headroom’s new album - Radio Cries is one of those albums that has instant classic written all over it yet it’s fresh and new in style and feel. Unique to this album is the uncanny feeling you have heard each of these songs before creating an old familiar feeling of, “I know I have heard this before” but you haven’t. Exemplary and stellar musicianship – they have gone above and beyond what many may expect of a rock album!””

— Mark Lewis, Rock Over America

"Strong rhythmic guitar chords and incredibly executed drum beats keep this album rocking. Much like a good book, "Radio Cries" utilizes introductions and conclusions and keeps excessive wording to a minimum. Many surprises lie within the eccentric album making it hard to predict what will come next."

— Emily Nichols, State Press/ www.statepress.com

"Heavy new album whose musical sensibilities sound like they were formed at a Lollapalooza concert in the early '90's...back up the grunge-era snarling with arrangements that occasionally introduce a hint of prog to the equation."

— Ed Masley, Arizona Republic

“Well now, I'm sitting here listening to Headroom's NEW Album "Radio Cries" and I must say that I'm thoroughly impressed. There is something about their music that sound new and fresh but fondly familiar. The music is electric and curiously inviting with killer hooks and dynamic hard rock arrangements. The musicianship is cohesively tight and mind-expanding.”

— Scott Thomas, Cashbox Magazine

“ ”Headroom is a cutting edge and original sounding 21st Century band with few rivals, Their album “Radio Cries” is first-rate, loaded with well-written and arranged songs unlike many others we have heard in the past ten years.””

— Al Bowman, LA Music Awards

"The basic concepts in order for a band to capture an audience requires the ability to demonstrate a dominating stage presence, have the look to attract all walks of life and of course, have the ability to produce a mind-blowing musical product that draws your full attention. These are basic concepts that seem to come easy to the Phoenix band, Headroom"

— Michelle Diaz Leach, No Cover Magazine - Feature Article

"It's that kind of kick ass move the f__k out of the way attitude that's gonna take these guys exactly where they want to go. Very few bands have their kind of motivation, talent, and work ethic. Headroom is the cream... and the cream always rises to the top!"

— Al Bowman, LA Music Awards

““A great up and coming band - a must see show!" ”

— Tumbleweed - Owner, The Blooze - Phoenix, AZ

““WOW! You guys are amazing! You are totally organized and professional - you guys are businessmen, we appreciate that!” ”

— Big O and Dukes Show, 101.5 FM - Phoenix, Arizona

Questions

Ask Headroom anything...

Q: How long does it take for you to compile a song? Do you write your instrumentals to go with the words or do you write the words first?

A: Hello, The majority of our songs are written in just a couple of hours or less and some of them we write the lyrics then the music but usually the music then the lyrics. If we all sang and or our singer played an instrument I think we would write more songs with the lyrics first. Hope that helps you out... cheers! ~Gavin
