“Two MCs trading verses is commonplace in hip-hop, but having a live band bringing the noise instead of a DJ isn't quite as prevalent.

"Best Local Rapper(s), 2011." - Creative Loafing, Charlotte

“BEST NEW BAND IN CHARLOTTE 2009 (readers choice) Eyes of the Elders”

“EOE's backpack-'n'-a-sack raps should be on more shoulders than Jansport right about now. Well worth your time, and one of the best "new" bands around, whatever the genre.”

“The unique, genre-busting layers brought about by the combination of violin, piano, electric guitars and thoughtful rapid-fire raps.”

"this is some of the best music I've heard come out of Charlotte since i started this job .. . . you can tell there are musicians at the heart of this group. . check them out live if you can, buy the disc when you see it."

“A mix of Anticon/Def Junkie thesaurus rap combined with a live backing band just as likely to kick out a banjo riff as a big bass bumper”

"see them live. it is amazing to witness how they turn a place out within the first minute."

“Charlotte hip-hop collective puts a new spin on the rock/hip-hop marriage with atypical instrumentation and classical music backgrounds that give its tracks layers of world music, rock, classical and traditional roots.”

"they represent what hiphop inspired and what it will now become. That is, of course, if it wants to survive, and thrive through the original."
