"Kingfish challenges the standards of rock music, providing the listener with a unique and interesting experience. Elements of alternative, progressive and even some industrial make their way into the band's repertoire setting them apart from the crowd of Radiohead-types trying so desperately to be "different." Kingfish has this great niche where they can write a song that makes you kind of bob your head and dance a bit, and then place it side by side with a wrist slashing drone fest befitting of pale skinned psychopaths and their exceptionally anxious roommates. If you can make someone smile, and then make them cry, you've absolutely mastered the art of music." -TexasGigs.com Full article Here
"Kingfishs music is pensive and thought provoking, and I would really love to hear a longer set from them. Their CD rocks, too, and Im looking forward to the new stuff." Emergenza.net
"Kingfish reveals tasty keyboard stylings paired with dreamy guitars, tambourine and even bells...The somewhat haunting vocals reminded me of Ian Curtis (Joy Division) or Paul Banks (Interpol). The bands rough, yet rifined songwriting is always refreshing." -The Manestream
