“Sean Garrett, lead singer was superb. His flowing vocals and stage charisma added that special element to their music. It’s a bit like Pink Floyd and YES meets RUSH. Frank Baker has an incredible presence on the drums doing these Progressive Rock sets. With Gary Koenig on Bass Guitar and Brian Jones on Lead Guitar.
GARRETT’s music is another trip into their world. It’s Hard and Heavy at times and Sean’s stellar vocals keeps you mesmerized. He connects with his fans. We have seen GARRETT several times but it had been a couple of years. We enjoyed every minute!”

“Bringing Rock Back To The Royal City”
Mario Bartel - New Westminster Leader
“This album is as much for his fans as it is for him and he makes his intentions very clear. It has been three years since Garrett's last album, and now he has ultimately rewarded his fans' enduring patience with his latest release "Seventh Star". A concept album of sorts featuring eleven songs full of hook laden material that paints a picture of untapped genres. It emphasizes appealingly vocals, smooth harmonies, poetic and philosophical lyrical muse in songs that move from the earnest pop-rock sound of "I Live" to the rock balladry of "Can't Go Back" ending with the orchestral splendor of "Good Morning Good Afternoon".
All in all a consistently brilliant album in which the songwriting and sound are deceptively complex, gradually revealing their intricacy with each listen.”

“Nice Indian flavor to the apparent sitar here, and then the ambient synth and evanescence type guitars and vocals come in... I'm so confused but this is amazing, unlike ANYTHING I've ever heard before. Mad points for originality. Wow (Prophecy 2009)

“Monkey... Rocking snake charmer
Arrangement: Love the middle east vibe. As a matter of fact love all the changes in this tune.
Vocals: Are sung with passion and backing vocals pull you deeper into the tune.
Guitars fill the void nicely. Cool track! (Prophecy 2009)
