Reviews

"The Blackpool Letters is a scary calling card of monstrous production, talent and performance...Scott Liss and the Sixty-Six are the area’s rising secret weapon and there is no way in hell this band won’t go on to bigger and better things. My advice would be to immediately buy this disc and see these guys locally before they wind up in New York or LA." - John Pfeiffer, The Aquarian Weekly
"The Blackpool Letters is an innovative display of raw musicianship by three of Asbury's hardest-working and most uncompromised musical talents." -Steve Bove, Asbury Park Press
"An honest statement...rooted within the virtues of rising above the madness." - Martin Halo, TheWaster.com
