Press

“Very strong in the shaman tradition; whirling melodies building to undeniable crescendos, crashing together at the top in a solid harmonic groove.....It is the movement of the music that hosts the caliber of the band; though it may sound ever so familiar, it is in fact pretty original, which is more than a large majority of bands can claim nowadays. That in itself is an achievement, for quality and creativity shine through everytime.”

— Todd West, The Underground Sound -- Issue 47

“Are they an alternative band, a hippie jam band, or crazy psychedelic experimental acid project?..... The Deal With 44 manages to be all of these rolled into one wild soundscape.....The music oozes a dark feel at points yet remains startlingly happy and upbeat with acoustic guitars and excellent singing....It may be weird, but it's good. Really good. ”

— VeniceBeachxc, StereoKiller

“..a nice alternative heavy vibe. Very unique and interesting.”

— Rich Embury, Pure Rock Radio

“Its heavy beats, heavier lyrics, and haunting melodies earn it the label of a progressive, hard, or even acid rock band but below the surface, a deeper, darker literary inspiration explains The Deal With 44....It’s a unique combination: emotions with underlying intelligence, wrapped up in the devil’s own rock ‘n’ roll. ”

— Aim Bennet, In Michiana

"A Fantasy of Phantoms" is the intricate, heavy and exemplary love-child of this alternative heavy rock family, representing as much about the individuals in The Deal With 44 as it does about the group itself.

— Shaun Christensen, South Bend Tribune
