*BAND REVIEWS
- “After long awaiting new material from a band who is taking Florida by storm, FourtyFour Down delivers an amazingly fresh sound with their new EP entitled “Insert Title Here.” Recorded, Mixed, and produced by a leading professional in the industry, Adam Barber, (who has also worked with such artists as Sevendust, Creed, and Alter Bridge) the level of passion and dimension in the new tracks are outstanding...” – O Machine Productions
- “Right from the intro it grabs the listener and pulls him/her right in. Vocals are strong, and convey both passion as well as angst to the listener. Very engaging. Guitar lines act like additional “hooks” and are layered beautifully. Structure is solid, hooks are set up, and released, very well…it comes across powerfully.” – TAXI Independent A&R Company
