"The band hails from Charlotte, NC, where I once lived. Sadly, I left before the group formed, although some of the current members were in groups I was familiar with during my tenure in the Queen City. At any rate, it's a refreshing,all-over-the-map sound that Cyclone Mack has, with cool elements of psychedelia colliding with way-too-fonky upbeat/danceable postpunk stylings. Having read some of the area media publications and their reviews of the band live also makes me regret never having had a chance to see them. But one day, I shall. Thumbs up all around."
Great Debut Album

"This music is refreshing and catchy - no two songs sound alike, and the use of some unusual instruments (accordion, mandolin) really distinguishes this band. I think the vocals are not really the strong point, but the melodies are good and the back up singing is interesting. I was sent this CD by a relative from Charlotte, NC, and most of my friends at the college here have liked the new sound of the band. I'd recommend it - and I hear they are good to see live."
Hopefully the next perfect mix

"I was so happy when i called in to my local music store and they told me that my cyclone mack C.D. had arrived. I anxiously placed it in my car C.D. player and had the ride of my life. I enjoyed every minute of this C.D. The lead singer was awesome, and the background vocals just blended. Unfortunately, i live too far away to enjoy this in person and i hope that if they ever come to the L.A. area i will have the opportuinty to be front row. Their sound has continued to grow with me in the last week and i play it often.I hope the big guys and critics pay attention to this group as they contiue to grow. I will gladly turn on their music to my friends. Special thanks to the bass player, Jeff. Thank you for turning me on ......to your band."
Killer live act

"I saw these guys March 24th with the new singer and it was smokin'. I have seen them 2-3 times and this was the best ever! I thought the CD was great, but the other night was so far above anything recorded. Thes guys are light years ahead of anyone and I cannot wait for another CD. At least I have the first one and it is killer. Cyclone Mack sounds like no other group out there and no two songs sound alike . I think a couple of the reviews are sour grapes by friends of the old singer. It is funny how they love the disk but trash everyone except Kim. She was good, but the new singer Janelle is incredible and so hot! They were burning up the club and the whole place was groovin' to her----men and women! Good going guys--keep up the good work!"
