“Beau et Savage” (Wild and Beautiful) – Rolling Stone France Album Of the Month

“Two organic farmers from Gascony making an album … that swaggers like a rough mix of The White Stripes and early Clutch. Inspired by naturalist Henry David Thoreau and philosopher Guy Debord, this extraordinary scream of social consciousness is the kind of record that will make the hairs at the back of your neck salute.”

 Classic Rock UK review of Less Is More

“The sound is powerful, hard, perfectly calibrated between hard rock and rock blues.”
