“Local Heroes
...art-metal rock band Ayurveda wowed a Friday evening crowd at the Infield Stage (at Grassroots Music Fest 2009)...”
Natasha Li Pickowicz - The Ithaca Times
“One of the more popular local bands was the progressive rock group Ayurveda, whose 6 p.m. set drew a crowd of several hundred. At a festival that features traditional music from blues to Zydeco, the quintet stood out and apart. (Grassroots Music Fest 2009)”
Luke Fenchel - The Ithaca Journal
“Ayurveda, "Porkchop"
The melodic hard rock band turns mystical guide in this haunting and head-banging track of their debut, "Being."”
Maxine Shen - New York Post
“Both aggressive and melodic, Ayurveda crosses gulfs from primal to spiritual, essence to entity.”
Dave Edick - Binghamton Press & Sun Bulletin
"I have only had one musical experience that got me feeling the way I did last Saturday. That was seeing TOOL a few years ago, while they were touring for Lateralus. In some ways this was even better because it was in such a small venue."
Steve from Lyon, NY - Fan
“...Metal and other hard rock fans will love "Being's" boisterous melodies and head-banging guitar solos, but where Ayurveda may succeed is appealling to a wider socially-conscious audience tired of messages spread through sappy, emotional ballads.”
MacKenzie Ryan - The Ithaca Times - "A Solid Being"
“...Ayurveda have molded their sound into an eclectic palette of world consciousness stewed with fiercely intense, nearly riotous performances.

Chris Castro - The Acquarian - "Universal Mind - Ayurveda"
“Initially skeptical for genre reasons, I was blown away by a live show earlier this month at Castaways. These boys are primed for prime time.”
