"One of the most unique bands in the whole state -- dripping with musical talent in both the performing and songwriting arenas -- is Trashcan Bandits, based in Fayetteville. Their music will appeal to fans of Flogging Molly, Mumford & Sons, Stray Cats and Tom Waits, to name a few." Carroll County News

"As for the overall sound, it’s as complex and entertaining as could be imagined. While one track takes you down a dirt, swampy road on a melancholy night, another makes you want to down a dark beer or cause general chaos, and then to a land of legend with harmonic Irish-folk sounding melody. Because the album was first recorded on reel and converted to digital — in-line with East Hall style — the tone and sound quality only adds to the overall satisfaction. " by Terrah Baker.
