Reviews:

RARB: Nick Anderson-Frey:

“GROUNDBREAKER IS A STRONG DEBUT ALBUM, ONE OF THE BEST IN RECENT MEMORY … WITH A STRONG SET LIST AND TOTAL COMMITMENT, THERE’S NO TELLING WHAT THESE TALENTED GENTLEMEN COULD ACHIEVE.”

Rebecca Christie:

“UTTERLY CHARMING … A TIGHT SET OF GOOD SINGING, FUN SONGS, AND A LOVE OF THE BEAT.” ON ‘EARTHQUAKE’: “PARTS OF THIS RECORD REMINDED ME OF CODE RED WITH A BIT OF THE POLISH REPLACED WITH A BIT MORE HEART.” ON ‘DOMINO’: “DAVID VERHOEVEN SINGS THE HELL OUT OF IT, SOARING LIKE A YOUNG MICHAEL JACKSON … THE SONG IS TONS OF FUN AND DESERVES A WIDER CIRCULATION.”

Jonathan Minkoff:

“THE UPBEAT AND DANCE-READY NO TOMORROW, DOMINO, AND EARTHQUAKE ARE JUST EBULLIENT; EASY ON THE EARS AND NEARLY DARING LISTENERS NOT TO DANCE.” “DAVID VERHOEVEN IS THE STANDOUT POP-TASTIC SOLOIST WHOSE SPECTACULAR TENOR EASILY RAISES QUITE A FEW SCORES”
