“…when you hear trombonist John Kachnowski cut loose on a rocking solo or a mellower full-bodied melodic phrase you’ll quickly experience the tremendous range and remarkable depth of this titan of the brass section.”
Eric Harabadian - Detroit Live Magazine
“melodic skacore sound..shakes up the musical moods..jazzy brass vying with hard rock..It's a potent brew, especially as the emphasis always remains on the band's powerful melodies and exuberant delivery. The arrangements are equally strong”
Jo-Ann Greene - All Music Guide
““Five finger discount” kicks off with a fast punky/Ska number “trailer park girl” this is an excellent track the verse is fast paced Ska pierced with a horn line that sticks in your head, whereas the chorus is a trashy punk ‘n’ sax blast with shouty vocals.”
SKAFace - SKAFace CD Reviews

“National Ghost is a very enjoyable listen and runs across several musical boundaries. There's something here for most everyone!”
Wildys World - Wildys World
“Detroit jam group combines ghosts from various veteran local bands to create something that's vital and new. This eponymous debut scales new heights with a mixed bag of rock and pop styles that are at once unique..notable songs include..the goofy childlike fun of Ice Cream Head”
Eric Harabadian - Metro Times
