BALTIMORE
SUN
"Raw,
rootsy and gusty. Daniels and his cohorts mine pure rock gold
with TOMBSTONE HAT and BROWN EYED BEAUTY.
Lead
guitarist Jim Katsikides is world class. Sample the gourmet rock
stylings of Zak Daniels. Good for the palate."
THE
PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER
"Not
in recent memory has a band welded the power of fluid, melodic
rock with incisive, clever lyrics AND a convincing performance.
You get the impression Daniels is enjoying himself as he romps
through Sweep It Under the Rug, Cartoon Savior and
Fourteen Dollars and 57 cents, yet he'll surprise with the
touching Sky-Boy then go back and grab you with Womanizer
and Fair-Weather Friends. Guitar banshee (and Daniels Co-Producer) Jim
Katsikides, makes you wonder what ever happened to all our favorite
guitar heroes. Don't worry, he's a new one."
NIGHT
MOVES
"Passion
is the heart and soul of Rock and Roll. It is the essence that
enables an artist to connect with their listeners. History has
shown that good bands that have it, such as The Doors, Led Zeppelin,
and Jane's Addiction, have gone on to greatness while good bands
who have lacked it, faded into virtual obscurity. ZAK DANIELS and the ONE EYED SNAKES
not only have it, but are driven by it as well."
MINNEAPOLIS
STAR TRIBUNE
"A
solid rhythm section and Katsikides' soaring guitar solos create
a masterful underpinning for Daniels' flights of fancy. Tombstone Hat, Cartoon
Savior and
Brown Eyed Beauty are indicative of a true passion and
appreciation of rock's ability to inform the imagination with
fresh material.
Look
for this world class band to tour the United States this summer"
PROVIDENCE
JOURNAL
BULLETIN
"Some
of the brashest, unabashed rock since the hey-day of Van Halen. Hard rock like this thrives on attitude
and there's plenty to be found both in Daniels' urbane lyrics
and in the incendiary guitar pyrotechnics of Jim Katsikides. Songs such as Getting Ready for
the Kill, Womanizer and Sweep It Under the Rug are
indicative of this band's prowess and our only hope is that they
take their show on the road soon."
CATCHY
HOOKS
(Rockzine
from Sweden)
"WoW!!!
I guess it's true,you just cant stop Rock n Roll.
This is one of best freakin CDs Ive heard for a long time. This is Rock
with a capital R!"
DETROIT
FREE PRESS
"Not
intimidated by current grunge and alternative trends, Daniels
and Co. find that meeting the challenge is reward in itself. The songs are standout enough, but
the sonic assault of the band, particularly lead guitarist Jim
Katsikides, is arresting.
And
how do you figure a relatively new band actually adding something
to Dylan's storied highway 61 Revisited? Yet that's what Daniels
and his line-up have done, brought something new to a form that
had recently been decaying."
HOME
OF ROCK
(German Rockzine)
"After
57 minutes of Rock n' Roll at its finest, Zak Daniels And The
One Eyed Snakes top it all off with Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited.
Not since the good old days of Johnny Winter have I heard this
title rock with such fury."
