REVIEWS (more to be added)
“Standing Strong delivers on all the promises that could be expected from them – the musicality
and joy of the playing, the quality of the songs, the freshness of the sound, the irrepressible desire to immediately listen again, and the experience of appreciating the record even more each time.”
– Martin Christgau, Empire Magazine (Germany)
