“The Restless Are Natives offers several avenues to rock and shoe-gaze by. It's appeal only grows with each listen as even the slightest rocker evolves to a depth of evolving imagery. Composer, lyricist Kryszak isn't satisfied with writing a modern rock hit single, which he is certainly capable of. His songs strive to break the barrier between digestible pop music and true exploration of the psyche.”

— BadArtFilm Blog, BAD ART FILM

“(RE: "The Restless Are Natives") "The album blends anger and empathy, balancing gritty, post-punk guitar figures against more reflective, esoteric melodic and harmonic movements. “Restless” is also an abundantly rich recording, with plenty of ear candy for the audiophile and headphone-obsessive alike."”

— Jeff Miers, The Buffalo News : Gusto

“(RE: "L.E. The Liz Estrada Book Club") "It's heady stuff, but with the addition of a chorus and string arrangements Rev's Kryszak is a seasoned orchestral com-. poser and writer for film -the music ebbs and flows in an unforced, organic manner."”

— Jeff Miers, The Buffalo News

“(RE: "Loud Guys AGainst Violence Against Women") "The local hard rock groups that will be performing are Kryszt, Rev, Floozie, and Critt's Juke Joint featuring Eric Crittenden and Friends. During the concert, there will be a projection of the names of the 13 women who were killed in Western New York as a result of acts of domestic violence from May 2008 - May 2009. Julie A. Doerr, the Manager of Community Relations for the Family Justice Center, credits Al Kryszak of the band Rev with formulating the plan for this event and putting it together. Kryszak wants this to concert to change the violent stereotype about hard rock and hard rock fans."”
