"dark, gritty pop mixing dub-tinged drum machines, soaring guitar and melancholy, romantic vocals. strangely inviting, sexy but twisted, subverting desire and installing shadow in beauty's throne. if any of the above intrigues you, this is a must-download. bloody great."

"definite flare for rhythm and dynamics... personable vocal style... expect great things from this project"

"reyns has a voice and melodies to sing."

"...disillusioned fables in well-executed vocal takes... pulsing... screaming for airtime."
-[metro]

"savvy production... irresistible triphop groove."

"emotional ballads... electro-laced synth-pop that is currently becoming the rage in the german club scene... good concept, extremely accessible."

"an up-and-coming outfit... highly danceable rhythms w/well-paced guitar riffs and basslines for one of the better electro-pop outfits this side of the atlantic... vocals are very polished, along the lines of the swedish synthpop acts that are all the rage, but occasionally delve into the shouted/distorted realm for contrast... while appealing to the gravity kills and stabbing westward crowd, stormdrain have their own definite sound... catchy vocal parts, a hint of trip- hop...a more somber sound overall... vocals are particularly strong... impressive... solid riffing and diverse programming. stormdrain definitely have more of an edge and are less concerned about trends. if i had a label, stormdrain would be top of my list of acts to sign."

"...strong production and solid construction. the perfect pop voice. the production is tight and the composition is stellar. the band is no novice when it comes to composing music. [loophole] is very slow and melodic and has the potential of the first single should the band receive an album deal. overall the band exhibits some inherent talent that is slightly overshadowed by the exceedingly commercial tinge to the music. this will probably aid them greatly in acquiring a label deal but make it difficult for them to receive any type of acceptance by the underground scene. of course, only time will tell what truth lies..."

"This somewhat haphazard approach to song construction would be maddening, except that it works here so well. The hardest thing in the world is to build a cohesive band feel even while experimenting. This is what separates most self-recorded acts from bands with label deals. Stormdrain is good enough to go now. Very impressive, from all angles. The sound is terrific, the writing superb. All phases are full-on great. That an act can be this appealing and still experiment as much as Stormdrain does is amazing. Wonderful work."
