"Omega66 provide a perfect mixture of guitars, electronics and screaming vocals. Seven strong songs in total with a deep under current of moods and messages dressed up in summer grooves. With elements of rock, R&B, Electro, Funk and spaced out vibes this is a great sound."
ZM **** Buzz Magazine

"It's always nice when you come across something that is hard to pigeonhole and this little number is definitely a defiant little bugger. Part rock, part dance, part pop, part soul, part funk, but all top quality. The sweet soulful vocals of Suzi make this stand out to be more than just a lad's party album, giving it a radio friendly layer but without sounding commercial. 'Dig It' gives us some of the funkiest bass lines ever to come out of Cardiff, with some nice wah wah and fuzzbox layered over the top resulting in a vibe that would shake any self respecting club. 'Celebrity Burn Out' turns on the acid jazz machine and transports us to the other side of the Atlantic, although the lyrics would make the likes of Paris Hilton blush. 'Stop Funkin Me Around' dips its toe in some rock pools demonstrating that if they wanted to they could turn their hands at something heavier. Something tells us if they wanted to, they could pump it up with the tribe."

“Infectious funk rhythms and melodious grooves, while venturing out to explore drum and bass flavours, electro and indie fusion. With a fan base gathering momentum at an alarming speed. Resistance to the funk could soon prove futile.”
Megan Cambell – Sound Nation Magazine

“Catchy Songs, great grooves, a fusion of styles, a pleasure to listen to!”
BBC

“The threesomes electro-funk-rock indicated the bands progressive style and genre crossing abilities. Its not very often that a band is capable of pulling off fusing funk with soul, rock, electro and pop all at once”
Patric Morgan, The Western Mail
