Raves
“These folks are nasty and fun my friends... Beware, judging from what I’ve been hearing,
they will not be Denver’s little secret for long.”
(Dan Aykroyd, a.k.a. Elwood Blues, House of Blues Radio Hour)
“Total joy! This may be the best CD and the best band to emerge out of North America in many a
year... The album everyone’s been waiting for! And I ain’t jivin’!”
(Real Blues Magazine )
“...these guys 'get it' and understand how to take a bit from the past, add bit from the present and come up with something familiar yet fresh."
(Blueswax Ezine )
“You guys are among the very best (and in many ways, THE best) I've heard, and I'm including national acts such as Sting, Allison Krause, and Big Head Todd in this comparison. You brought the absolute timing and precision of a recording, but were able to do it with the looseness and improvisational element that makes live music so enjoyable. That's a damned tough thing to do and you guys did it. “
(Bob Josjor-Sound Engineer)
“On tracks like Stuck On You and Let’s Roll the band shows their skill for writing tight, upbeat rock numbers with catchy hooks that could lure even the clumsiest dancer to the floor. “
(Scene Magazine)
“[Stiletto Angel] is a disc that will cheer you up after an off day. If that's not a good reason to buy it, then I don't know what is.“
(Rootstime.be)
"From the 1st act to the last, Blues Under the Bridge had some serious talent & passion on stage [including headliner Koko Tayor]. But I must say, The Informants stole the show. You belong on the main stage at Telluride. "
(MySpace Fan Message )
“... Stiletto Angel is both nationally and locally the best album of 2007.”
(The Oyster)
“This is hot stuff ... No matter where the songs fall on the musical spectrum, they are
presented with great energy and obvious dedication.”
(The Holler, Colorado Blues Society)
“Solid disc from beginning to end... 5 star work!”
(James Nagel, 90.1 FM - Houston)
“ Not only are the Informants able to recreate a great vintage sound, at times they also manage
to sprinkle in a little bit of modern music, creating something new and alive.”
(Ol' Skool Rodz)
“... A release that can compete on a national level...Nice job!”
(Kai Turner, 103.5 FM The Fox - Denver)
“... Kerry Pastine makes every note sting, and a muscular crew of bar-band boogie men light a
fire under exuberant tracks like the title cut, which is capable of getting any joint jumping.”
(Westword)
“... All 13 tracks are well produced and just sound terrific! Buy This CD!”
(RockOnColorado.com)
“... A cross between House of Blues sort of sound -- I keep hearing John Doe and Exene in
there. Call me crazy!"
(Rick Galusha, 89.7 FM - Council Bluffs)
“They are to 50s R&B what the Stray Cats were to rockabilly.”
(Anonymous Fan Review)
“A party record in the truest sense...bolstered by the powerful, slightly gritty vocals of
Kerry Pastine. Let the party begin!”
(Loveland Reporter-Herald)
