“The song "Inside." Could someone please get me a fire extinguisher – this song is hotter than a 3-dollar pistol! Even though it may be the simplest of songs on this record, it takes the record to higher level of maturity through the heavy usage of metaphors. It is eloquently performed by MHB, this time consisting of Mr. Baron on vocals and guitars, James T. Bromley on bass, Daryl Coutts on Hammond B3, Rob van Daal on drums, and Michael Whalen on shakers and tambourine.”

“MHB is a very tight band that I believe if the quality and level of songwriting is maintained, that they could get very big very fast. Even though comparisons were made to other bands here, by the time I got to the end of the record it became apparent, MHB with Matthew Henry Baron at the helm, has their very own sound and there was little doubt for me as to who they are.”

“That first lead guitar within the first 10 seconds of the song SOMEONE LIKE YOU, had me pulled me right in: ”

“Sparks definitely do fly – this is music that could kick any party into overdrive. MHB is a smoking hot band that blends elements of funk, rock, blues, and reggae into a spicy soul-infused gumbo that smolders and burns.”

“Matthew Henry Baron’s initials spell out the name of his band, but they also apparently spell “amazing”, as this album is nothing but that. Even the weakest tracks (which are hard to try and find) are sublime and alive with energy, stellar musicianship, and a sense of exuberance that few bands can capture in studio. Sparks Are Going to Fly has all the energy and dynamics of a live recording translated to twelve fantastic songs. MHB’s sound is an amalgamation of so many different influences that they create their own kind of rocking sound that is as distinct as it is familiar.”

“The song, “Blanket On Leather,” starts with a guitar and drum groove that had a vibe of Graceland-era Paul Simon, although comparisons to The Dave Matthews Band would probably not be too far off.”

“Phenominal musicianship blasted as soon as I downloaded it. Can’t get enough!”

“Baron blends healthy doses of blues, reggae, hip-hop, funk, and rock to create a feel-good landscape perfectly suited for summer listening.”

"MHB takes a wild mixture of influences ranging from funk and blues to reggae and ska while wrapping it all up in a nice tight groove."

“MHB's sound is a funky, bluesy, reggae-rich, hip hop-inflected, groove-heavy amalgam of the various branches of 20th century black music that guitarist Matt Baron has been studying over the past several years.”
