"Sweet Soul Suicide showcases Shane Hines ability to provoke and engage listeners with profound lyrics and unexpected musical shifts that reveal his seriousness, depth, and talent as a musician. Hines' emotionally observant questions and reflections are ones that we often avoid, yet are relieved to hear them spoken out loud. His aggressive melodies and subtle hooks mark him as an intelligent and poetic musician. Sweet Soul Suicide is simultaneously substantive, musically entertaining and memorable; a rare find amidst today's predicitable lyrics and tunes."

"Shane's songwriting is awesomely honest and creative, both in lyrics and music. I love the genuineness and depth of his lyric writing and the music and great vocals draw you into the words. This is a great album. I've just heard his newest "Zoe" and recommend that one too... WOW!...He just gets better and better. Thanks Shane!"
