Testimonials
"1st class music from a 1st class band! These guys are going places. The best original music from Long Island in a long time!" -Vincent LaFrance, Long Island, NY

"Listening to this band was a joy. The band has a very nice crisp sound. The vocals are excellent and I am quite impressed with the guitar work." -jfm5447@netzero.net, Las Vegas, NV

"As a recording studio, we see a lot of bands come through the door. It's great to see such a talented bunch of guys who share a vision. The dedication that they have...it's refreshing! Always a pleasure, true to their art." -Joe@cattraxrecording.com, Schenectady, NY

"Musicians that have talent while retaining optimism and they're not looking for one of those hip images either, wait a second...that's unheard of! Thankfully it's all for the better. 25A is a band with material that easily blends in with the stuff you're hearing on rock radio today. It's part Traffic, part Santana and solo Eric Clapton. It's somewhere in the modest yet skilled "Arena Rock" category with a bit more respectability. Rifs like that on the opening 'Decidedly Down On Me' will always hold your attention. 25A shows to be among the one percent of bands looking to have some fun as they play their music, bless them for it. Plain and simple there's nothing you couldn't like about 'Medicine Man'." -Darren "Hollywood" Paltrowitz, L.I. Entertainment Magazine

"This ten song collection features a wide array of catchy songs that run in different musical directions but always return to a signature pop sound. "End Of My Rope" is a great example to this talented groups musical diversity. It starts out with a Steppin' Ska rhythm then jumps into a spanish flavored rock groove and back again without missing a beat. There are a couple of straight pop tunes that could catch the ear of an interested record label. The closing track "Medicine Man" brings this disc to a tight close. This effort might just get these guys a deal, so check 'em out." -Matt Griffin, Good Times Magazine
