“Classic rock played in a fresh manner but with guts and feeling. You'll be hard pushed to find anything as real as this. Time to get your Metal paws into Iron Claw. ”

— Mark Taylor, MetalTalk.net

“A 40 year break, and not a second of time wasted on this record…go get ‘em Claw, your time to shine is here again! ”

— Hellride Music

“If you are looking for an authentic blast of seventies inspired, but right up to date sounding bluesy classic rock, then Iron Claw’s reformation is another that is as welcome as it is surprising.”

“What if someone told you there was a hard rock band that started in the UK in the late 60′s, a band that was on par with some of the great bands of the era like Cream, Black Sabbath and The Jimi Hendrix Experience? A band with the impossibly wonderful name of Iron Claw? ”

— Screamer Magazine

“IRON CLAW is back to gain their rightful place in the lore of music history.”

— We Love Metal

“It’s been 40 years since anyone really heard from Scottish hard rock and metal pioneers Iron Claw, but much like a pristine bottle of Black Bowmore scotch whiskey from the same era – they sure got sweeter with time.”

— Rockstar Weekly

“Iron Claw's A Different Game assaults your senses from beginning to end without letting up, just like a great rock album should. ”

— Long Live Rock 'n' Roll

“If this album had come out in the 1970's or even in the NWOBHM era Iron Claw would have been huge, but even now this album will assure the band a cult status at the very least. BUY OR DIE”

— Sunday Rock Show

“This is a solid, dynamic, vintage rock ‘n roll record, 13 tracks spanning 57 minutes yet hardly a dull moment to be found. A Different Game is more of the same—high quality heavy rock unearthed from the underground by Ripple Music!”

“I would say A Different Game is a MUST listen for fans of the 70's classic bluesy heavy rock scene. You won't be disappointed.”

— Butterflyman, Rateyourmusic.com

“IRON CLAW has returned and their unfinished business might just Rock your world… It’s Rocked mine. COMEBACK ALBUM AND BAND OF THE YEAR”

— Metal Oddesey

“The album delivers 13 tracks for nearly a full hour of rock. You shall certainly find yourself losing track of time and days will pass by quickly with this album on repeat.”

— The Soda Shop

“Thankfully Iron Claw has given themselves the opportunity to say a thundering hello to the rock world, if not hijack it. ALBUM OF THE MONTH.”

— Metal Minute

“A Different Game is revealing. Iron Claw was good at delivering heavy, but melodic, blues fused rock. Ripple Music was right for hooking up with this classic band. A Different Game is well recommended.”

— Dangerdog Music Reviews

“It's not everyday that a band from metal's formative years comes out with new material for us obsessive music heads to meditate over. As such, I think this is a release to be relished.”

— Born Again Nihilist

“Either way Iron Claw have unleashed a thrilling, heavy blues rock album that's sure to be towards the top of my best albums of 2011 once December rolls around.”

— Heavy Metal Time Machine

“An effortlessly playable collection of working man's hard rock, and a heartening reassertion of power from metal's forgotten founding fathers.”

— Metal Hammer magazine
