"While distilled in a homegrown tradition, they also come off as rugged and resilient, a sound that seems to grow richer and more robust with every listen. In fact, it's that anthemic quality, imbued in this material, which enhances their delivery and begs the listener to take notice. Given sufficient exposure, they have the potency to stand alongside Mumford and Sons and the Lumineers when it comes to their solid dynamic and the ability to strike a commanding chord." -Lee Zimmerman - No Depression
"this is not a band that is facing backwards or hewing closely to traditional lines. Or at least not just one traditional line; their tunes are a rich stew of country, blues, and funk lightly spiced with shoegaze, the kind of thing that will warm you up and stick to your ribs at the same time." -Jennifer - Now This Is Sound
"From the sounds of it, Old Ways is the perfect gateway into summertime. Every guitar lick, every vocal harmony, and every golden hook and chorus radiates vibes of summer brews, front porches, and charcoal grills." - Allston Pudding
