"MOMENTUM" (2016) CD REVIEWS
"Infectious musical energy, a driving beat, booming bottom end tuba, wailing solos and boisterous vocals make Momentum a jubilant release." -Tiina Kiik, The Wholenote | Full Review |
"Produced by Chris Birkett (Buffy Sainte-Marie), Momentum captures [Turbo Street Funk's] infectious energy neatly." - FYI Music News
"Much like their debut album, the new disc mixes original tunes with clever (indeed, unexpected) covers." - Mark Rheaume, CBC Music Library
"They're having so much damn fun it’s impossible NOT to listen...they combine top 40 hits with savvy originals for an entertaining mix, with elements of funk, like Chicago or Lighthouse if they were to really loosen up and have some fun." - John Kereiff, The Rock Doctor Reviews | Full Review |
"Sax, guitar, drums, tuba and French horn with voice sounds like it might be an unusual combination, but it works. They’ve performed their lively brand of jazz/ pop at a TON of festivals in the Ontario area and their tunes have been featured on Jazz FM 91 and CBC radio as well, so people are listening." - Gonzo Online
