SUPER400 PRESS QUOTES
"The power trio out of upstate New York plays a lofty punch of
original material that recalls the pot-laced days of classic ’70s rock." -Worcester Magazine (June 22, 2007)

"...Super 400 does in fact possess many original
elements which can be attributed to their rock, jam band and Motown
influences." -Mike O’Donnell, Play Philly Magazine (November 8,
2006)
"Super 400 ripped into the (pause) most (pause)
BERSERK blitzkrieg of brutally delicious sound that it was literally shocking.
It felt like when your brain rips in half the nanosecond before one of your
better orgasms. I mean, This is Rock and Roll, and really, that’s all there is
to say. They destroy. Respect!" -Tara Murtha ‘Mix Tape,’ Play

"The band offers a brand of true rock fury that often
has to fight its way through a particular trend just to get noticed, but is
likewise a style of music that will outlast the cockroaches themselves." -Scott
McLennan, Worcester Telegram & Gazette (May 10, 2007)

"This is rock 'n' roll as religion – hard and high reaching, denim
apostles with big amps and even bigger balls."
"3 And The Beast is heavier than its predecessors but still
swivels on lubricated hips. Singer- guitarist Kenny Hohman has a
boulder-busting wail worthy of Steve Marriott's Humble Pie days. Drummer
Joe Daly and bassist Lori Friday consistently remind us why the power trio is
such a holy combo. In a just world, Super 400's latest would be gatefold double
vinyl we could sort out the seeds and stems on. Glorious."

"Drummer Joe Daley and bassist Lori Friday capably
hold down the fort, but it’s the guitar work that’s really extraordinary.
Holman is working at a level higher than everyone around him, yet he never
overplays and his catchy riffs and hooks are the lifeblood of the
material." -David Malachowski, Chronogram Magazine (August 1,
2007)

"I'm digging Super 400's vintage 70's crunchy sound- great energy
and not overly produced." –Brenda Steiner, Lively Times (September 13,
2007)
"For this reliably excellent live act,
putting the songs and the performances at the forefront was a
smart move: Once the tentative opening notes of “Emergency” gust up into a
flurry and the rhythm section kicks into high gear, you’re in for a 45-minute
reminder of why rock & roll will never burn out or fade away." -John Brodeur, Metroland (2007)

"Simply put, Super 400 has zeroed in on the lost art of the rock
and roll power trio, and mastered it in the process." –Ronni
James, Tech Valley Times (2007)
"With bassist Lori Friday and drummer Joe Daley in pure mind-meld
mode, singer/guitarist Kenny Hohman can stretch out and show his depth on the
reflective "Green Grass End," balancing a falsetto vocal line or two
with his normal, rougher Paul Rodgers/Doyle Bramhall II tone. The squealing,
s-s-s-mokin' "High Hopes" is the perfect lead into album closer
"Our Season Has Come," which is tres' Creamy with additional
textures. Spread the Message." -Mike Mettler, Mobile Entertainment Magazine
"Raise a fist for Super 400 and see if they don’t rock you like a
proper fuckin’ hurricane." –Dennis
Cook, Crazywire.com
"There hasn't been a good rock threesome since the
wonderful Kings X, but upstate New Yorkers Super 400 - two young men and,
lawdy, a woman - are certainly heading in the right direction. If their
creative, muso approach to heavy rock, with its tempo changes and long, almost
psychedelic jams (Closer Day Bye Day clocks in at an epic 12 minutes) eerily
recall the 'forementioned Kings X at times, it's because they're probably
drawing on the same influences: primitive trios The Jimi Hendrix Experience and
Cream have a lot answer for here. Elsewhere, Super 400's textured rock'n'blues
sounds a lot like a modern-day Free, only a tad more brutal (Dreamboat
especially), and The Black Crowes, only less stoned (the fine Hitch A Ride).
One to watch." –Sylvie Simmons, Mojo Magazine
