AKORA

"Experimental Anti-Snap Grid Sex Core"

\"A total package.....Atmospheric keyboards, soaring vocals, guitar playing that\'s equal parts technical and textural, and a rhythm section that can swing as hard as it can pummel.... I suspect I\'ll be seeing them in arenas\"
(Aaron Burgess : SPIN, Alternative Press, Revolver)

\"They\'re the real deal, they are ready to go. In a moments notice, they could be the one were talking about everywhere. \"
Paul Korzilius (Manager of Bon Jovi)

\"I really think you hear their songs, and you know that it\'s Akora\"
Gary Graff (New York Times Features Syndicate, Billboard.com)
