”In a world where the term ‘Singer-Songwriter’ has become synonymous with the words ‘trite’, ‘dull’, and ‘inoffensive’, we can only thank God that Paul Needza Friend is out there on the edge spewing emotion like venom”

”…a punk fueled vibe propel reflective tunes that have 20-20 hindsight and 100% insight. Paul Friend’s raspy tone has and urgency that endows the music with an intense impact. It’s heart-felt rock in its finest form–the kind you feel deep in your bones… Their most powerful aspect is Friend’s deep, strong gravelly voice.”

”… Friend’s assertive compassion may be upfront and in your face, but it also conveys a good-natured confidence. Like a working class hero, he connects strongly with the audience and invites them into his world. communication on stage is also high… ”

”…his (Friend’s) songs are intimate stories that are not only personal and touching, but observational at the same time. This warm detachment gives his tunes a depth and poignancy that is unmistakable. There’s a genuineness to this material that only comes from the real thing, and Friend appears to be just that. He’s a smart songwriter with a sharp vision who explicitly captures the emotion in any situation…”

”… With songs that have substance and themes that matter, this act should have a very bright future. Indeed industry would be well advised to check them out while they still can.”
