According to Aquarian Magazine, "when I listen to their music, I picture living in a shack near the swamp, sitting in front of a fireplace with a shotgun in my hand and eating squirrel, while I listened to the music of Reese Van Riper on a phonograph. Their music is dark and certainly swampy.″ A terrific live band too boot their lead singer Papa Reese himself, “commands the stage standing at a towering 6’7″, and his band feed off his energy live." https://open.spotify.com/album/6IP76hZ8WIIB8nM2apz9ic?si=Fz4pffzCSHeBEJTlWevDKg
