What the Press is Saying About 'Free Henry!'
"Although their proficiency lies in a genre that's not exactly radio-friendly, the members of Free Henry! possess more musical talent than a good deal of what now occupies the airwaves. How a big-time record label has yet to offer these guys a paycheck is perplexing. This Western New York-based quartet proves that there is actual, authentic musicianship still present in the music industry." ~Paul Lane, The Niagara Gazette

"They certainly don't skimp on giving you the feel good, stuck in your head choruses. Expect mainstream pop rock, but with more guts than you're used to hearing. And they know how to do what they do very well. If you want to describe it to a friend in 4 words you could say: smart minded rock pop." ~Brandon Schlia, Buffalo Rising
