"...sophisticated songs about relationships that pack catchy hooks and strong melodies in every tune."
"Rick Nease has crafted a thoroughly professional, emotionally satisfying set of six pop songs that sounds better than just about anything being played in Toledo on the radio right now."
"The end result is a mature rock and blues sound, ripe with intensity"
"...a fresh perspective on rock with crisp production and a thinking man’s pop-hook mentality..."
“Hey, what’s this? An entire CD of good singing, tight musicianship and solid songwriting?"
"...meaningful, dark and sometimes political..."
"strong, classic pop-craft"
"Singer/guitarist Rick Nease has a crisp, clear voice that works wonders with these tales of love gone wrong."
"BadMonkey's debut doesn't sound like a first recording. From the opening cut's pining to be on the "Radio" to the tale of a fractured life on "Coming Down," this is a highly polished release."
