“Their performance stands alongside memorable recent shows by 

Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats and Lake Street Dive. Spectacular."

“Think back to the Desmond Dekker era of Jamaican pop and you’re on the right track. But the Big Takeover would be equally at home in the Motor City — especially if the Spinners and the Slackers magically ended up on the same bill.”

“With songwriting, this band unleashes creativity with a celebratory grandeur.”
