"Efo is as unclassifiable as any band out there. Their blending of folk, rock, ska, jazz and country/gospel seems so familiar and comfortable while also making you sit up and take notice. Nobody recording today can out sing Julie Murphy Wells. The band's intelligent sense of humor and gift for capturing a moment in an image is unpretentious and clever. Efo at their best, "Big Noise" will make you a believer. Buy all of their albums, catch them live and see why this band has survived for 10+ years playing small venues across the country. The Best."

Wow

"Possibly the best thing to ever come out of Northern Virginia. Captivating. Fun. Reflective. Energetic. Haunting. I could break out the old Thesaurus and look for more words but you get the idea. These songs will make you smile and think repeatedly and become a part of your life- not a bad deal for a few bucks. The ending harmony of Gravity sends chills through me. Great, great stuff..."

A great introduction to the band...

"I've been a huge fan of Eddie from Ohio since seeing them play live at a Friday night outdoor concert in Herndon, VA four years ago. I'd heard a lot of buzz about the group, but never heard them, and it's worth a trip to a local club--without a doubt! The best thing about this group is their combination of folk sound and truly intelligent lyrics--songs like The Train Song draw on folk (and, in this case, bluegrass) roots while still bringing a modern sensibility--EFO is never too serious for their own good! I recommend buying The Portable EFO Show first, then buying this album. And once you see them in concert, you'll be buying the older discs, too!"
