Album and EP reviews:

"Godsticks is a band that needs to be watched. This is an excellent addition to any music collection ("progressive" or otherwise) and I have full confidence that the band can only get even better from here."
[Michael Sharkey - Prog Archives]
|
"Spiral Vendetta has it all in spades with chops, emotion, musicality and imagination, the songs, predominantly written by Charles, pack a breathtaking amount into concise pieces and the album in no way outstays its welcome."
[Duo Review - Dutch Progressive Rock Page]

"The collision of the cohesive tight-knit musical nuances of progressive rock and the looseness of a jam band...where melodic sensibility is present without any urgency or pretentiousness, retaining a hipness to their sound that is often not found in many bands that forge a technical edge."
[Tommy Hash - Ytsejam]

"It's the jazzy flavour of the instrumental rhythm that dominates the soundscape of their debut album, Spiral Vendetta; over which Charles' melodic, legato phrased vocal adds an interesting and enjoyable contrast...there are rewards aplenty on this well-crafted album."
[Alex Torres - Sea of Tranquility]

"The 10 tracks showcase a very unique musical style that is well structured and played with an accomplished flair. This is a disc that will likely find a soft-landing spot in any prog collectors CD shelf"
[Jerry Lucky - The Progressive Rock Files]

"Many reviewers and musicians have been in awe over the so far brief output of this act, which is understandable. In a world where a plethora of new albums are issued each year, coming across an act where influences are hard to place - or even find - is an eye-opener in itself".
[Olav M Bjornsen - Progressor]

"Godsticks definitely brought a refreshing approach to the contemporary prog music scene and we are not the only ones thinking this way. It is always good to discover bands like this since they don't come to our attention very often."
[The Prog Files]
|
|
"Mature and masterful performances that cover wide-ranging musical twists and turns featuring top-notch performances....These guys will be worth watching to see what they do next."
[Nick Tate - Progression Magazine]
