"The Roscoe Project is perfect for the Hot AC / CHR (Contemporary Hit Radio) and Triple A Radio. The staff at Howard Rosen Promotion (unanimously) agrees that the Roscoe Project's song "Sleight of Hand" is a hit!"

"This Toronto-based band has classic sound that evokes the spirit of vocal-driven 70`s faves like Poco, Orleans, Crosby, Stills, & Nash, and 90`s California band, Venice while adding a touch of gentle, laid back Southern-pop rock ala, say, Dwight Twilley, the first two Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers albums and Ozark Mountain Dare devils. A bit odd? Not really, as "Outside Of Reno" is an easy glide along the pleasure highway of tuneage. Strongly melodic with crystal clean vocals that sparkle brightly in close harmony, supported by beautiful and honest guitarplay. All the tunes here have a sunny washed soul that a laid-back joy to simply enjoy without pretense or expectation of slotting into "the new sound" of the day."

"I must thank Toronto pop legend Bob Segarini for turning me on to this band from his hometown. They're a very unique blend of Byrds influences and Celtic stylings, a brew we're proud to serve up at the "International Pop Overthrow" in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Baltimore!"

"Roscoe Project is the band of singer and guitarist Laurence Roscoe who is originally from Toronto. Outside of Reno is the bands debut album that has already gotten a lot of airplay on the American radio stations. This is quite understandable given the fact that Roscoe Project has got that typical AM-sound and therefore recalls the popular country rock and pop music from the mid 70s. Laurence Roscoe has a strong voice that reminds me of Roger McGuinn; the harmonies bring back memories of the Byrds, but also of Firefly. Moreover, Roscoe is a great guitarist who�s whistling electric sound makes me think of Elvin Bishop. During great songs like Outside of Reno, Sleight of Hand, Bipolar and Urban Steel I can actually hear bands like the Little River Band, Poco and American Flyer before me, but most of all they remind me of the Eagles in their best years (before Hotel California). In short, Roscoe Project ensures a sentimental journey back to the old-fashioned, but also mainstream, country rock of the mid 70s. And who wouldn�t enjoy that?"

"The Roscoe Project is a fine and subtle blend of alternative folk and edgy pop, with healthy ladles of country leanings that Gram Parsons would surely be slow dancing to. Lazy Sunday afternoons and driving far across through lonely highways were things that these tunes were made for."
