"Meticulous craftsmanship of the songwriting, the strength of the lead vocals, and the tightness of the harmonies distinguish the quartet from other Canadian outfits mining a similar vein... [an] excellent sophomore album." - Tony Montague, Penguin Eggs
The quartet’s original songs twine elements of old-time, folk, and vintage country into a West Coast string-band belt. The members are all multi-instrumentalists, and their vocal harmonies are tighter than a moose’s ass in a Banff blizzard. - Georgia Straight
Stylistically, the Breakmen have been compared to bands like Old Crow Medicine Show, and with their second release, the group has become a significant force in the world of Americana music. - Les McIntyre, Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine.
"Vancouver's kings of harmony...." - Steve Edge, Rogue Folk Club
“To the already long list of Canadians who bleed pure Americana please add The Breakmen. Like their countrymen in The Band before them, they have been known to inspire a bit of the old-time religion with their sublime vocal harmonies.” - Nathan Baker, San Francisco Bay Gaurdian
"As The Breakmen continue to achieve their own pure and raw brand of folk music, there is no question that they will be prominent figures in the new wave of indie bluegrass." - Emma Quail, McGill Tribune
“This is workin’ man’s music and a little time spent with The Breakmen will surely do the soul some serious good." - Eden Munro, The Vue Weekly, Edmonton
“The Breakmen back up solid songwriting and great song selection with high energy and a great band presence. They are rapidly developing a large following for their outstanding live performances.” - Bjorn Weeks, Bluegrass North Magazine
"With their new album The Breakmen have placed themselves ontop of the Americana Scene...." - Adolf Gorriup, Folkworld Magazine
