Press

“Opening track Sympathy Immediately captures your attention with an array of passionate guitar riffs.”

— Rachel McKinnie, We Are Unseen

“ViliFi’s music is catchy and addictive, and boils to a point of pure rock. ”

— Jenna Cocozziello, Radio Nation

“ this is probably the best album I have reviewed for Never Enough Notes, maybe ever. Common Eyes is undeniably and thrillingly unique, funky, rocking and damn right superb…I love it!”

— Peter Gilbert, Never Enough Notes

“ I could quite happily sit in awe watching the drummer do his thing, then despite my instincts, mouth agape, take the time to watch fingers flying over the frets on guitar. More importantly the aural stimulus is equally as intoxicating. Once bass and vocal are added to the sound track we find an immensely talented group who know precisely what they are aiming to deliver and do it with top marks.”

— Tim, Indie Bands Blog

“With the 13-track Common Eyes, ViliFi make their intentions clear at the outset with blistering opener "Sympathy," a showcase of each member's impressive musical skills. ”

— P. Thorpe, The Beachside Resident

“Vents Mag: What was the inspiration for your song “Better Days” from your “Common Eyes” Album in 2011?

In those times it can help to take a good hard look at yourself and ponder what you can do to better yourself for the future.”

— Rafael Jovine, Vents Magazine

“ViliFi is an alt rock band with a rather catchy sound and some fun guitar work. The guitar fills on their record are really great and rather fun to listen too.”

— Matt Baggins, Two Guys Metal Reviews

“ViliFi resonates the bones with a style of alternative rock fused with the intensity of a more progressive genre. ”

— Ffion Davies, Alt Sounds

“Playing a series of shows, the band ViliFi will give audiences a chance to experience an eclectic mix of original progressive rock ’n’ roll as well as...”

— Mike Nunezshake, Florida Today
