Press

“The Effinays effin' bring it! This six piece genre defying ensemble has a little bit of everything, and yet their sound is so precise that it's hard to mistake them for anyone else. Something else that's hard to do around these guys is to sit still. They get you with a driving rhythm section punctuated by rich accents from the horns and impossibly funky guitar from a guy named Shaggy (gotta love that, right?) but then you top it all with the double barrel vocals of frontman Joe Martinez. If it doesn't get you moving, get yourself checked out. That's all I got to say.”

— Chevy Music Showcase

“2012’s self-titled debut shows the outfit’s developing heavy sound undercut by chill out breakdowns. Whether fulfilling a rock steady opening or jamming out a jazz riff, The Effinays fold enormous soul into their deft grooves.”

— Fort Live '817 Weekly'

“The Effinays say on their Myspace music page that they sound like “a Reggae dinner complimented by a nice bottle of Jazz; but after an appetizer of buffalo wings,” and they were by far the most entertaining band of the night. Their fusion of jazz, funk, and reggae – along with their near perfect tempo changes – kept the music from being boring and repetitious, as reggae can sometimes be.”

— Jessica Harp, Pegasus News

“This group could potentially be a Denton staple.”

— Laurel Johnston, MyDentonMusic.com

“I was expecting a tune that was a little blurry around the edges, but instead I heard some of the sickest bass solos of the entire night coupled with seriously funky guitar riffs and a rock solid drum beat that left us all wanting more.”

— Laurel Johnston, MyDallasMusic.com

“The six-piece group did a superb job of representing their home and themselves, in fact they sound better and better every single time I see them. The saxophone was dead on, the groove was tight, and the transitions from high-powered funk to cool reggae jams were smooth as silk.”

— Laurel Johnston, MyDallasMusic.com

“Fermenting a stew of Reggae, Roots and Rock, the Effinays bring a helluva live set to the stage. “Funky” is the watchword for this outfit, swinging with sharply cut bass lines and grooves that make you want to get off your feet and dance.”

— Fort Live '817 Weekly'

“The exuberant boost of the horns is undeniable, calling out in response to frontman “Big Spook” Martinez. Running the show, pointing attention to his outlandishly tight band, Martinez helms the bouncing ship with resplendent alacrity.”

— Fort Live '817 Weekly'
